Chelsea and Liverpool both suffered surprise Champions League defeats in midweek.

On Sunday, the two teams meet at Stamford Bridge, each looking to bounce back.

Chelsea’s Ross Barkley missed a penalty in the home tie with Valencia, and he is confident the Blues will get a win against Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool have a 100 per cent record in the Premier League an already sit five points clear at the top of the table.

Barkley told Goal: “We have got a confident bunch of lads in the team. We have got a big game on Sunday and we are confident we can win the game.

“Every side is beatable on the day. It just goes down to hard work, putting extra yards in, being clinical as well and a bit of luck. The big games bring the best out of all players.”

Chelsea were clinical against Wolves at the weekend, scoring four goals in a shock victory.

After a slow start to the campaign, they are picking up form, which is why the midweek defeat came as a bit of a surprise.

Chelsea can get back on track against Liverpool at the weekend, and a draw would not be a bad result. A loss on the other hand would be more damaging, and would confirm Liverpool as early title favourites.
