Chelsea vs Liverpool: 10 players who have played for both clubs

#5 Nicolas Anelka

Nicolas Anelka

Nicolas Anelka spent the entirety of his career playing a lot of different clubs, with Liverpool and Chelsea both falling in his collection. He joined the Blues seven years and three clubs after joining Liverpool on loan.

Anelka spent the second half of the 2001-02 season at Anfield, where he scored five goals in 22 games. He wouldn't return permanently after Gerard Houllier decided to sign Senegalese flop El-Hadji Diouf instead. Bizarre.

The Frenchman had spells at Manchester City, Fenerbahce and Bolton Wanderers before he joined Chelsea in January 2008. He would win the Golden Boot in 2008-09 with only 19 league goals, before picking up a Premier League winner's medal in 2010. After a respectable spell at Stamford Bridge, Anelka went off to China to become the player-coach of Shanghai Shenhua.

Where was he better: Chelsea
