Liverpool

Everton's task at Anfield was made much harder when defender Ashley Young was sent off for two yellow cards, both for fouls on Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, in the 37th minute.

With Mauricio Pochettino making his Chelsea managerial debut and new additions to their squad, the Blues started slowly. Liverpool asserted dominance early, with a rejuvenated Luis Diaz capitalising on Mohamed Salah's precise cross from the right, reports Xinhua.

Interim coach Bruno Saltor saw his side miss several good chances, while Reece James and Kai Havertz both had goals disallowed in a result that leaves Liverpool eighth in the table and Chelsea 11th, with both struggling to qualify for Europe next season.

Although Mohamed Salah poached a goal for Liverpool in the 17th minute, Julian Alvarez, who was in the side for injured Erling Haaland, levelled 10 minutes later and then helped Riyad Mahrez set up Kevin de Bruyne to put City ahead in the first minute of the second half.

Top scorer Erling Haaland could miss the game for Pep Guardiola's side with a muscle problem and if he isn't fit, Julian Alvarez will take his place. Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez is a doubt for Liverpool, while young midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, who played a part in Liverpool's upturn in form, will miss the rest of the season, reports news agency Xinhua.

The winger scored after a magnificent control to take Brighton into the last 16 and leave Liverpool's season hanging by a thread, reports Xinhua news agency. Although Liverpool improved from their 3-0 defeat in the same ground just 15 days ago and even took the lead through Harvey Elliot's 30th-minute goal, Brighton were level just nine minutes later when Lewis Dunk deflected a shot into the Liverpool goal.

Chelsea had an early goal from Kai Havertz ruled out for offside, as they controlled the first half and gave Liverpool's defense constant problems with high crosses into the penalty area, reports Xinhua news agency. The second half was more even, but neither side really deserved to take all three points as Mykhailo Mudryk made his debut for Chelsea.
