Chelsea vs Liverpool: 5 key battles that will decide the match

#1 Jurgen Klopp vs Maurizio Sarri

Chelsea v Liverpool - Premier League

Saturday's clash will pit two progressive managers who have forged a reputation for exciting football against one another.

Both managers play attacking football, albeit in contrasting styles, with Klopp's pressing coming in direct contarction with Sarri's possession based 'Sarriball'.

The first ever professional meeting between the pair ended in victory for Sarri in the midweek EFL Cup clash at Anfield, and a perfect opportunity for Klopp to get his revenge presents itself three days later at Stamford Bridge.

Mangers are by and large extensions of their players on the field, and matches like this are usually only settled by managerial tactics, and whichever of the two coaches gets his tactics spot on and successfully transmitted to his players will undoubtedly be the one who goes back home with all three points in hand.
