1) High press will pay dividends
While sitting deeper against Manchester City worked well, Liverpool are a different proposition. Their defence is much more vulnerable when they lose the ball higher up the pitch.
Klopp’s team leave large gaps that can be exploited if possession is lost in their own half. Their centre-backs split and their fullbacks tend to push up or move infield to invert.
Pressing the holding midfielder (whether it is Wataru Endo or Alexis Mac Allister) into making mistakes is the main priority.
If they can do that, Chelsea’s forwards could potentially have 3 on 2 or even 4 on 2 situations.
