Hosts manage to keep Palmer in the cold
When you play against Chelsea, you have to find an answer to the Cole Palmer question.
Liverpool managed to do this well today.
The Chelsea youngster contributes towards The Blues' goal tally so often, only three players have contributed more in their first 40 games for their clubs.
Andy Cole, Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland are the exceptions to the rule.
Slot feels things could have been different
The Liverpool manager gave his overview on the win at Anfield.
Maybe I am a bit biased, we were unlucky with some of the decisions that were made. If the referee looks at the incident for over a minute, it is clear that VAR should not have overruled the referee's decision [for the penalty]. In the end we win against a very strong Chelsea. The referee was right to give me a yellow card, it was obvious, just like the penalty.
Arne SlotThis means more
Despite still being in the early stages of his Liverpool career, Arne Slot's Reds seem to have some grit about them.
Heads could have dropped after Jackson equalised early in the second half but they took all of three minutes to retake the lead.
The emotions from the players at the full-time whistle shows just how much they want to win every game they play.
Reds leading way at top
Liverpool ensure that Man City's stay at the top of the table is short-lived.
Nobody tipped The Reds to be challenging this season and saw a period of transition ahead after the departure of Jurgen Klopp.
While it is still early days, the Dutch manager has had a perfect start to the season with ten wins from his first eleven games in the job.
Maresca keeps building at bridge
The games continue to come thick and fast for The Blues.
With European, Premier League and cup matches laying ahead.
They face Newcastle in both the league and the Carabao Cup over the next five games as well as a trip to Old Trafford.
Enzo Maresca will have seen a lot of positives today and will be looking to win as many of those games as possible.
Reds keep ticking the boxes
With a tough run of games ahead, this always seemed like a crucial game against Chelsea today.
The performance was not a classic but already Slot's team are finding ways to grind out results.
That may well prove to be important when it comes seeing their trophy cabinet at the end of the season.
He's one of their own
Curtis Jones not only grabbed the winner for The Reds this evening but won the man of the match award in the process.
Stepping into the starting line-up replacing Alexis Mac Allister, the local lad really stood out today.
He will cherish that award and the three points his goal got them.

Liverpool climb back to the top of the Prem thanks to an outstanding Curtis Jones but the way his side stuck together will surely mean Enzo Maresca isn’t having the blues about his Blues display.
