Welcome to football.london’s live coverage of Mauricio Pochettino’s news conference ahead of Chelsea’s first Premier League meeting of the season.
The Blues will face Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in quest of their first three points of 2023/24, with the two sides already competing in the transfer market for the signatures of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo.
The Reds appear to have won the battle for the latter player after their £110 million bid was accepted, which will be a harsh blow for the west London club, who do not appear to have given up hope.
“It will be good to have Eden Hazard back at Chelsea,” Mauricio Pochettino says of a star transfer
Pochettino will be bombarded with questions ahead of his first home encounter after an unbeaten pre-season tour of the United States. While the 51-year-old will be hoping for an update on Caicedo, news on Chelsea’s move for Tyler Adams could possibly emerge.
There will also be injury news, with Pochettino reacting to the news that Christopher Nkunku has been ruled out for months, as well as updates on Noni Madueke and Trevoh Chalobah.
