The Spaniard featured in the Blues’ 2-0 win at Anfield in April 2014, which derailed the Reds’ title hopes as Manchester City clinched top spot.

Cesar Azpilicueta has fond memories of playing at Anfield
Steven Gerrard’s slip gifted Demba Ba an opening goal before Willian netted a late second to end Liverpool’s 16-match unbeaten streak in a defeat that floored Brendan Rodgers’ side.

However, they entertain a Chelsea side unbeaten in eight games at Anfield in all competitions since a 4-1 defeat in May 2012.
“It was a few years ago, but we went there and they had the party ready because they were smashing every team at Anfield,” said Azpilicueta.
