Chelsea hosts their title rivals Liverpool in their second affair of Premier League 2020-21. Frank Lampard’s side edged past Brighton & Hove Albion in their opening clash at the Amex Stadium. Jorginho netted the opening goal in 23rd minute through a penalty. Trossard produced an equalizer in the second half before double strikes from James and Zouma to lead Chelsea 3-1 victory. German internationals Timo Werner and Kai Havertz both made their debut on the first game and they were clinically great at the field.
