The match is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, with a kickoff time of 14:30 Moscow time.\n\nSlot acknowledged the potential return of several key Chelsea players who had been sidelined with injuries. He noted that if the reports about their availability are accurate, it would significantly strengthen the opposition. The manager emphasized that the absence of top players always impacts a team's performance, making their potential return a major factor in the upcoming game.\n\nDespite the importance of player availability, Slot stressed that the match itself is always a difficult contest for both sides. He pointed out that both teams boast high-caliber performers across the pitch. In his view, recent form—whether a string of wins or losses—matters less in such a fixture. The focus, he suggested, should be on the quality of the individuals on display and the hope for a strong team performance, which often elevates individual players.\n\nThe Liverpool boss also addressed the challenge of preparing for Chelsea under the guidance of interim head coach Callum McFarlane. Slot stated that it is possible to predict what to expect from Chelsea, as every coach has their own football philosophy. He mentioned that Liverpool has already faced Chelsea three times this season and observed that the current interim coach's approach is somewhat similar to that of former manager Enzo Maresca.\n\nSlot described Chelsea's tactical setup as very clear, noting they typically employ a \"three in the penalty area\" structure. He added that the specifics can vary depending on the players used and how they occupy space on the field. He also recalled that Chelsea had a clear structure under previous interim manager Liam Rosenior, and that this clarity has continued under the current coaching staff.\n\nHeading into this 36th-round fixture, Liverpool sits in fourth place in the Premier League table with 58 points after 35 matches. Chelsea, meanwhile, is positioned in ninth place with 48 points.\n\nThe match promises to be a compelling tactical battle, with Slot's side looking to consolidate their top-four position while Chelsea aims to climb the table under new leadership.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Liverpool manager Arne Slot discusses Chelsea's returning players and tactical expectations ahead of their Premier League match on Saturday, May 9.","326257545918287872","Liverpool","328275417351852033","326135625054949376","Premier League","327052454552145920","Liverpool vs Chelsea","2026-05-08T18:47:24Z","slot-on-chelsea-return-what-it-means-for-liverpool-clash","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6461288-arne-slot-vyskazalsya-pered-matchem-liverpulya-i-chelsi.html",[68,63,80,81,82,83,84,85],"326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326257539962376192","326257545754710016","326257554411753472","326257556324356096",[69,64,87,88,89,90,91,92],"Anderlecht","Canada","Como","Newcastle","Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","Slot on Chelsea Return: What It Means for Liverpool Clash",[95,126,156,179],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":96,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":97,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":98,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":99,"slug":100,"sourceName":101,"sourceURL":102,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":105,"teamNames":115,"title":125},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
