When Chelsea meets Liverpool on Sunday, it'll be a clash of teams with very different identities.
Last season saw Liverpool miss out on the Premier League title by a single point, but a few weeks later, the club drowned its sorrows by claiming the Champions League crown. The Reds have continued their dominance in the early stages of the current campaign, having won all five matches so far to build a five-point lead atop the standings heading into Matchday 6.
Chelsea, meanwhile, has undergone a transformation in recent years. After joining England's elite earlier this century, the Blues have experienced a dip that has led to club legend Frank Lampard taking the managerial reins. Lampard's learning curve is steep, and Chelsea has posted an uninspiring 2-2-1 record through five weeks of play.
Even with the so-so results, Lampard has yet to face a test as stiff as the one Liverpool should provide Sunday.

Recent history is not on Chelsea's side, either. The Blues have won just once in their last nine Premier League matches against Liverpool, claiming a 1-0 victory way back in May 2018. To make matters worse, Chelsea has ceded home-field advantage when the Reds have visited of late, with Liverpool winning five of the last 11 meetings between the teams at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea has won three of these matches, with the other three ending in a draw).
Overall, Liverpool is on a 22-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League (having lost just once in 44 games). If Lampard's men can end that run, it would be a massive signal to the rest of the league that Chelsea is back on track.
