His side are performing better than Chelsea, but only just — they sit 8th with their opponents in 11th. Last season, Jurgen Klopp's side were a few games away from winning an unprecedented quadruple. Three successive defeats, against Bournemouth, Real Madrid and Manchester City, have left Liverpool in an awkward position. Then come the two surprise packages of this season's Premier League: Brighton and Brentford. You could say a similar thing about being in the Champions League or not being in it. “We all accept that part of the business. “You have to deal with the press, the players. We’re all responsible, we have to keep it positive, focus on tomorrow’s game. "Graham did an amazing job, football is a really complex business and we have to keep going. "The timing is quite stunning because it coincides with me starting the job here. [Aston Villa](https://theathletic.com/football/team/aston-villa/) that left Chelsea in the bottom half of the table. He looked really sharp in the 35 minutes that he played but has shown very little promise since.

Chelsea's post-Potter era kicked off with a wasteful performance against a shaky Liverpool side as both sides fight for minor places.

[Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah) was rested rather than dropped, as was [Andy Robertson](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/104943/Andy-Robertson). But although he performed like a player ready to take off, Felix summed up Chelsea in many ways -- lively, but erratic and with no real finishing touch. Kai Havertz on the sacking of Graham Potter: "We have to take responsibility what's going on. With a reported buy-out fee of £70 million at the end of his loan, however, he will need to do much more to earn a permanent move. It summed up the threat he posed with his direct running and willingness to take the ball. [Trent Alexander-Arnold](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) was poor at the Etihad, but [Cody Gakpo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/249524/Cody-Gakpo) was a rare shining light in defeat, yet he was on the bench too.

Klopp knows his players better than anyone, but by making so many changes, it gave the message that Liverpool have given up hope of climbing into the top four this season. [Harvey Elliott](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/280806/Harvey-Elliott) meanwhile didn't even make the bench. In this game, Chelsea had the better chances and saw two goals ruled out -- one for offside and the other for handball -- but they showed little sign of a positive bounce under interim manager Bruno Saltor. [Reece James](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/189007/Reece-James) and [Kai Havertz](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz) saw goals ruled out by VAR for Chelsea and [Mateo Kovacic](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/154595/Mateo-Kovacic) missed an easy chance to score in the second-half.

Chelsea to hold talks with Luis Enrique while Lampard is an interim ... (The Guardian)

Chelsea are preparing to hold talks with Luis Enrique, who is vying with Julian Nagelsmann for the vacant manager's job.

The 42-year-old Spaniard was part of Potter’s staff and has no managerial experience. It is understood there is also admiration for Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso, although the former Liverpool midfielder is unlikely to be appointed at this stage of his career.

Chelsea will need to consider the circumstances around Nagelsmann’s demise at Bayern. The 52-year-old won the treble with Barcelona in 2015 and favours a quick, attacking style, although Chelsea will ponder whether much of that Barça side’s success was owed to having Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar in attack.

Liverpool, which ran Manchester City so close for the title last season, is in eighth place and seven points off fourth-place Tottenham. It’s a credit to them.” Indeed, there was something very familiar about the teams serving up a goalless draw. The fight to avoid the drop remains too close to call, though, with five points separating Crystal Palace in 12th and Leicester in 19th. A 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa dropped Leicester into next-to-last place and means the team has lost six of its last seven league games, drawing the other one. Another 0-0 stalemate between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Report: Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann in talks ... (Bavarian Football Works)

It has been a while since Bayern Munich sacked their former manager Julian Nagelsmann, in favour of former Chelsea FC manager Thomas Tuchel.

As fate had it, a sudden news leak forced the board to come clean and put forth the formal news of his sacking. The contract of five years with the fee of €25 million made one thing very clear — the club believed in his vision enough to entrust a massive, long-term project in his hands. It was sudden and unexpected, for both the fans and an unsuspected Nagelsmann who was enjoying a quiet ski vacation. The Rekordmeister certainly aren’t the kind to throw money around for anyone, but they wanted Nagelsmann and came in ready with a huge amount. Chelsea are currently managed by interim manager Bruno Saltor, who took over after Graham Potter’s sacking. Though it has been lesser than two weeks since the sacking was announced, it feels a lot longer than that because of simply how much has transpired.
