Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has expressed optimism over his side’s Premier League clash against Liverpool on Thursday, stating they are going to Anfield to claim all three points.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have lost each of their last four home matches in the Premier League, having previously gone unbeaten at Anfield in the league since April 2017.
However, Liverpool returned to winning ways following a 2-0 victory away at Sheffield United on Sunday to move just one point behind fifth-place Chelsea.
“It is an important game for us, we are very close in the league. We go there for a win. We know that it is not going to be easy but we go with hope, and I’m sure that we can get a good result from Anfield,” the Frenchman told Sky Sports News.
“Man Utd, Leicester and West Ham are ahead of us, but we still have many games to play, and if we’re doing well then we have the ability to get this position.
“We need to fight for it, to prepare to it, and to do everything we can to get in this top four.”
A win for Chelsea would see the Blues move four points clear of Liverpool, while a victory for the Reds would seem them move above Thomas Tuchel’s side and into the top four, although West Ham United will have a game in hand.
