Right, back to tonight and we have some team news for you...

I've been waiting a long time for Tottenham to play as badly as they did against Chelsea and still get a positive result.

One of my biggest criticisms of Spurs for many months has been their inability to put in a poor performance and still avoid defeat.

All the best Premier League teams have always been able to do that - so it's important that Antonio Conte's side have now shown they can too.

I was already feeling very upbeat about their prospects this season anyway but what happened in their 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge gives me even more confidence, if anything.

I know some Tottenham fans might be jubilant about the result while also thinking 'hang on, we didn't play very well' - but that's the reason why they should be even happier, especially in a fixture with a history like this one.

Plenty of Spurs teams of the past - including the ones I played in - went to Chelsea, played really well and got beaten. When we didn't perform, we always lost.

On Sunday, we finally saw that a Spurs side can go there without getting anywhere near the levels we know they can, and still get a result against a Chelsea team that - to a man - has played out of their skin.

Read more here.

One of the upshots of Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge is that the FA will investigate Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel following his post-match comments about referee Anthony Taylor.

Tuchel was angry after Harry Kane's equaliser six minutes into stoppage time earned Tottenham a dramatic 2-2 draw.

The German suggested that Taylor should not referee Chelsea matches in future.

The Blues were furious that Taylor failed to penalise Rodrigo Bentancur for a challenge on fellow midfielder Kai Havertz in the build-up to Spurs' first equaliser.

The resulting melee led to face-to-face fury between the two managers which ended with Tuchel and his opposite number Antonio Conte receiving yellow cards.

But with tempers still running high, both men got involved in another spat at full-time and were sent off.

However, the red cards do not trigger an automatic suspension, meaning both are almost certain to be in the dug-out for next weekend's games.

The FA will review the video footage of the incident and look at the referee's match report before deciding on any charges. There is also a right to reply for both managers before it finally goes to a commission.

Much of the football chat this morning has been about the aftermath of that eventful clash at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon, less for the actual play as for the antics of those involved during and after the game.

Taking centre-stage are Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and his Spurs opposite number Antonio Conte for their handshake shenanigans.

There was also plenty of aggro between the players, some squaring up and some hairpulling. I believe the word starts with s and ends in hithousing.

Yes, tonight we're at Anfield, which is sure to be in fine spirits, as Jurgen Klopp's Reds look to put an early win on the board in search of yet another title charge.

They're firm favourites to do so against a Palace team who were comfortably second best for much of their opening match with London-rivals Arsenal, before a late second-half push salvaged some optimism if not any points.

There's a very good chance we see some of the new boys too tonight. Every home fan will eager to see what Darwin Nunez can bring to the Liverpool front line, while the travelling support will be fascinated to find out more about midfielder Cheick Doucoure.

Neither Crystal Palace nor Liverpool were particularly happy with the end result of their first game of this Premier League season.

For the former, this involved getting beat at home by Arsenal in the very first game of the campaign, on Friday night.

For the latter, a draw at newly-promoted Fulham will not have been what they had in mind.

Tonight, though, offers them a chance to make amends and really get their 2022-23 season under way.
