The Reds dropped to ninth in the table after losing 3-0 to Brighton last time out while Potter’s side sit one place below them on goal difference.
However, the Blues did get back to winning ways against Crystal Palace at the weekend thanks to Kai Havertz’s second-half winner.
At the halfway point of the season, the two giants are sitting in midtable and this game could have a huge impact on the trajectory of the remainder of their campaigns.
