"We have targets in the Premier League and in the Europa League. Our target in the Premier League is to stay in the top four, so we have to go there on Sunday and try to win the game."

Liverpool have failed to beat Chelsea at Anfield in the Premier League in their previous six meetings - their last win was a 4-1 victory in May 2012.

However, the Reds have not lost at home in the league for 37 matches, a run which stretches back to April 2017 when they lost to Crystal Palace, and Willian believes this is potentially the toughest fixture of the season so far.

"Yes, of course. We know that. We know how they play, we know how dangerous they are. They have great players. They are in a good moment, so we have to be ready," he added.

Liverpool and Chelsea have played each other twice already this season. Maurizio Sarri's side beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in the Carabao Cup in September, while it ended 1-1 between the teams at Stamford Bridge in the league.
