21:51 CET - Chelsea were mighty impressive in Mauricio Pochettino's first match back in the Premier League against Liverpool, and the Argentine was indeed pleased with his side's performance, but guaranteed that they would get even better.

19:49: If you can rewind your mind to a few hours earlier, Spurs drew 2-2 with Brentford. Speaking after the match, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said supporters have a reason to believe despite the departure of Harry Kane (30) after his first taste of Premier League action.
19:35 CET - Well after a thrilling first half, the second 45 minutes was a bit of a step down, but still pretty good. In the end, the game has finished 1-1, but Chelsea were most definitely the better side. It's obvious how much of an impact Pochettino has had already. They played some really nice, free-flowing football in the second half, dominating the contest. With the addition of Caicedo, they will be even better.
But in the end, they were unable to take their chances, while the Reds struggled after the 30-minute mark. Liverpool need to get a holding midfielder, and even a defender. They were just too easy to play against for the large majority of the game.
Enzo Fernandez (22) was absolutely sensational. He is going to be special under Poch.

18:24 CET - Phew. What a half. Chelsea started slowly but ended up completely dominating towards the end of the 45 minutes.

Liverpool themselves fell away after a good start, and Klopp will need to sort it out at half-time.
18:11 CET - Now Chelsea think they have gone ahead, but VAR deems Chilwell to be offside. My word, this is breathless. The momentum has shifted. End-to-end stuff. Two totally open midfields. No wonder they want Moises Caicedo.
18:08 CET - Against the run of play, Chelsea have equalised! Axel Disasi pokes home after a header from Ben Chilwell, but that was some shoddy defending from Liverpool this time.
18:00 CET - Liverpool are all over Chelsea, and so nearly doubled their lead. Salah thought he scored, but VAR deemed him offside. Regardless, the Blues are just so open defensively. Being cut apart at will. They need to sort it out.
17:49 CET - Liverpool lead at Stamford Bridge courtesy of Luis Diaz, but my word, what a piece of magic from Mohamed Salah! The Egyptian wizard played an absolutely mesmerising pass to Diaz, who slotted home at the back post! Jurgen Klopp's men lead.
17:32 CET - Play is underway at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea and Liverpool begin their seasons in this really intriguing match.

17:08 CET - Tottenham will have to settle for a 2-2 draw with Brentford in their first match in the post-Kane era. The first half was a breathless affair, with all the goals being scored in those 45(+11) minutes.
However, after the break, both sides were far more measured, and looked happy to settle for a draw, which was ultimately a fair result. James Maddison (26) and Yves Bissouma (26) were superb, with the former picking up two assists on his debut.
Tottenham showed positive signs in attack, playing with some fluidity. But at times, they did look a bit shaky at the back. However, there is definitely something for Ange Postecoglu to work on. Brentford continued to show why they were so formidable at home last season, even without talisman Ivan Toney (27).
