Unlike Liverpool, Chelsea have the pleasant distraction of the Champions League, which may turn sour if serial Champions League winners Real Madrid put them to the sword next mid-week in Madrid. There's midweek Premier League action this week and Tuesday serves up an interesting game between the two faltering behemoths, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Mykhailo Mudryk – Came on with about 13 minutes to play to try and hurt Liverpool and their tired legs with his blistering speed. Mudryk was on at left wing-back, though, and was unable to make too much of an impact. He has those performances, like the one against Borussia Dortmund in the second-leg, but he has too many of these where he does not look like he is going to score even if he played two lots of 90 minutes. Showed some nice link-up play with Havertz, but not enough. Joao Felix – Looked bright, but there was a frustrating lack of end product, not for the first time, tonight. Did well against Jota to keep him quiet. Ben Chilwell – Struggled to get into the game as an attacking outlet. You almost forget how much ground he covers. N'Golo Kante – Played in a much more advanced role than perhaps we would have expected. 6. Kepa Arrizabalaga – Never had too much to do in the first-half, and it was a similar situation in the second period. Claimed a couple of crosses well.

Another name that has been linked for a few years now is Zinedine Zidane, the former France international star turned serial winner with Real Madrid. The jury may be out on the ownership at this point, with a large transfer spend showing ambition, but results on the pitch not matching expectations.
