Reece James predicts Liverpool VS Chelsea encounter
Reece James has warned his Chelsea FC teammates that they are in for a rigid test of their Premier League title credentials when they travel to face Liverpool FC on Saturday evening.
The southwest London side head into the match looking to continue their fine start to the new Premier League season against the Reds.
Chelsea FC secured an exciting and dominant 2-0 win over Arsenal at The Emirates on Sunday to follow up their 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on the opening weekend.
James scored Chelsea FC’s goal against the Gunners to add to Romelu Lukaku’s opener, as the Blues commanded the three points to move top of the Premier League table after two matches played.
Attentions now turn to Chelsea FC’s showdown against Liverpool FC at Anfield on Saturday evening, with Jurgen Klopp’s men also having nicked up two wins from their opening two matches.

England international James is under no delusions about the threat posed by the Merseyside outfit, but he feels certain that Thomas Tuchel’s side can continue their strong start at Anfield.
“Liverpool have been up there at the top of the Premier League for the last few seasons so we know going there will be a very tough game,” James said.
“We need to prepare right and bring the same intensity as today into that game but our team is very strong.
“We have a number of top players in each position so when one top player comes off, there’s another one replacing them, which keeps the competition really high.
“I wouldn’t say there’s any pressure on us right now. We have to take it game by game but obviously our aim is to win every week.
“Everybody here is ambitious and wants to win the title but we just have to take things slowly right now.”
Chelsea FC finished fourth and won the Champions League last term.
