Enzo Maresca admits he once 'watched 38 Liverpool games in one week' ahead of Chelsea's daunting trip to Anfield

Premier League

Carabao Cup

Liverpool

<p>The Blues boss claims that Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool had a significant influence on his coaching philosophy, as he spent a week watching 38 of the Reds' games under the German. On Sunday, Maresca's Blues will travel to Anfield, aiming to inflict their second defeat of the season. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Maresca also claims that Cole Palmer, Chelsea's in-form superstar, can take notes from Mohamed Salah, who has emerged as a Premier League legend during his time at Anfield. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Maresca told reporters: "Four or five years ago when I finished playing and started as a manager, I watched 38 games of Liverpool in one week – to study and to analyse how they were with the previous manager.</p><p>"I really know Liverpool players because I watched them many, many, many times. That team, the first one, two, three years of Klopp, the way they were pressing was especially good because of Salah, (Roberto) Firmino and (Sadio) Mane. So it is not only about on the ball. It was off the ball, the way they were aggressive was something unbelievable. I really like Salah, not only because he is good on the ball but because he is a fantastic player also off the ball.</p><p>"He has been one of the best players in the last five, six, seven years. Cole is doing that for us in the last year and also now and hopefully he can do it for the next five, 10 years with us."</p>

WHAT MARESCA SAID

<p>Chelsea will aim to win at Anfield and record their fifth victory in eight games. They can move onto 17 points with a victory, which may be enough to move them into second in the table. </p>
