00:00...advisedly, the champions to Stamford Bridge.
00:30Their motivation, our Parkside Robot Lawn Mower, is only ÂŁ199.99.
00:35Shop without compromise. Go full needle this bank holiday.
00:39Hurry up. And now, time for the last question.
00:42Which is a reliable source for...
00:44A tip.
00:45A. Your best friend.
00:47B. Your spouse.
00:48C. A cool-headed racing professional.
00:51And D. Your cousin's wife, sister's plumber, who knows, the trainer.

01:06TonyBet. We're here to play.
01:12While you struggle with tech that doesn't live up to your standards...
01:17...we'll be right here. Yes. Down here.
01:22Because at Husqvarna, we've been perfecting robotic lawn mowing for 30 years.
01:26Get it right with Husqvarna.
01:29Welcome to the island of Eriske.
01:32Population 140.
01:36Is everyone behind the team?
01:3910% of us are in the team.
01:40And if you want to make the most of this pitch, well, that can be difficult.
01:49But thanks to Guinness Zero, if you want to make the most of your evening, that's always easy.
01:59For the finest tennis players in the world, the Clay Court Challenge continues.
02:04The Roam Masters, live on Sky Sports.
02:11Sponsored by Bet365.
02:17Liverpool make changes for this game against Chelsea, knowing that the title is already sewn up.
02:23Jarrell Kwanzaa makes just his third Premier League start of the season.
02:27A couple of players making their first Premier League start of the season.
02:30One of them is Wataru Endo, and the other is Harvey Elliott.
02:35But for Mohamed Salah, obviously, in many of Liverpool's successful games this season.
02:40And he's surpassed the goal involvement for a 38-game season with 28 goals and 18 assists.
02:46One would equal the record for a 42-game season.
02:50Two would break it.
02:51As for Chelsea, the news for them is that Lavia makes his second Premier League start since January.
02:57He's still fit for that one.
02:58Carl Palmer hasn't managed a goal and only a couple of assists in his last 12 Premier League appearances.
03:03As he looks to have an end to the season that matches the great start that he made to it.
03:08And Nicholas Jackson with three goals in his last two games in all competitions.
03:14Hitting just a bit of form at the right time for Chelsea.
03:16Here's Enzo Morescu with Patrick Davison.
03:19Well, Enzo, four games then between you and the Champions League place you've fought for all season.
03:26At this stage of the season when maybe the emotions are a bit higher, there's more state, more pressure.
03:33What's the key to managing it and seeing this situation through?
03:36As you said, exactly as you said, try to manage the emotions.
03:39We have four games to go, try to win as much as we can.
03:42And then at the end we see where we are.
03:45Do you feel like you have regained some momentum in the last couple of weeks?
03:49Yeah, for sure. When you win games, it helps a lot.
03:52You know, we won the last two in a row.
03:56And hopefully, as I said, we have four more games.
03:59And if we want to finish top five, we need to win games.
04:04So hopefully we can win today.
04:05What do you expect from Liverpool?
04:08They've obviously made quite a few changes.
04:11And we know that sometimes when a team hits their target,
04:14they do drop off a little bit.
04:15So can you test them in terms of intensity of the game?
04:18Just see if they want it as much as they would normally, basically.
04:21But when you have a winner player with a winner mentality like they have,
04:26I don't think they're going to drop something.
04:28You know, so I expect a tough game.
04:31And just tell us, with your team, Lavia and Enzo in midfield, Caicedo, I guess,
04:36pushing him from right back, like last week, what opportunity does that give you to control
04:41and dictate a game with all those three players available?
04:44Yeah. Unfortunately for us, this season we didn't use them together many times
04:50because of different kind of injury, different kind of situation.
04:53Now Romaino is back, it's good.
04:54And hopefully he can continue growing, give us balance.
04:59On the ball is very good, off the ball with Enzo, with Moy they are quite strong.
05:05So hopefully we can win games.
05:08And lastly, you've said you'll do the Guard of Honour.
05:12You think that's right? You're happy to do that?
05:14Pay respects to our champion team and the tradition obviously in this country?
05:17Absolutely. In this country, but I played for many years in Spain and it's exactly the same thing.
05:24So I think it's correct to do. Thank you, Enzo.
05:29Enzo Mareske actually played in the Sevilla team that won the UEFA Cup in 2006 and beat Middlesbrough.
05:34And they received for that a Guard of Honour from the Real Madrid Galacticos,
05:38the likes of Zinedine Zidane in that squad.
05:40So he knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of a Guard of Honour.
05:43And of course the Chelsea players will give one today to Liverpool.
05:46But in terms of the game itself, really important for Chelsea and their chances of
05:50Champions League qualification.
05:52You've talked before, Daniel, about how important Lavia is to this side.
05:55He makes just his second Premier League start since January.
05:58What is it about him that makes them tick?
06:00I think both on and off the ball, in possession, plays the ball forward
06:04and he brings a calmness to the team where he can control the rhythm for the team.
06:08Then out of possession, he's very dogged in terms of his defensive work,
06:12always in and around it and wanting to break down the play.
06:15And I think they've missed his legs in there.
06:17He's a very important player for the football club.
06:19He's played minimal games and that's very unfortunate for him.
06:22I really do hope that he is able to work during pre-season and gain fitness for next season
06:28so he's available for more games because without him, they are a very different team.
06:31Jamie, we've talked about the players who haven't been available for Chelsea at times.
06:36We've also talked about the fact that players who've had fantastic appearances for them
06:41haven't been performing necessarily at their best.
06:43And in the last 12 games, it's just two assists and no goals for Cole Palmer.
06:47What's gone on, do you think?
06:48Yeah, it's crazy.
06:49I mean, it's very difficult to...
06:50Obviously, only he knows why things haven't gone well for him
06:54because he's finding himself in really good positions.
06:56At times, he's sort of second-guessing himself.
06:58You know, I watched a European game here a couple of weeks ago
07:01and he goes through on goal and early in the season, he probably chips the keeper.
07:04He decides to play it and wait and doesn't score.
07:07It just needs something to go his way.
07:09He needs that. That probably sums it up just watching that there.
07:12If he's just going past the post or that final pass and then a little bit of maybe just,
07:16even though he's such a good player, a little bit of a lack of confidence.
07:18But it'll come. He's too good a player.
07:20Yeah, I think when you set such high standards, when you come off it a little bit,
07:24like the lads, you're going to highlight it.
07:25But he's got the quality. He's done it before.
07:27So don't be surprised if he has a big impact today.
07:30The quality's there. He's had a little bit of a dip, but he's a quality player.
07:33And it's also about who's up against him, Daniel, as well.
07:36He'll be in and around him all game.
07:38You know, this guy loves the challenge, works tirelessly in that midfield area.
07:42Obviously struggled for opportunities, but whenever he comes on,
07:45no matter what position it is, he gives 100% for the team.
07:47And that's what I love about this player. He's selfless and he deserves the start today.
07:52He tends to be a player that comes on when Liverpool are just trying to shore
07:55things up towards the end of a game. That's been where a lot of his appearances have been.
08:00Yeah, for sure. Today's going to be a game where we can showcase his abilities for 90 minutes,
08:05potentially. And like I said, he's been vital to the team's success throughout the season,
08:08because whenever they've needed him, whatever amount of minutes,
08:10whether it's one minute, 20 minutes, whatever it is, he's going to give 100% out there.
08:14Avi Elliott's had a couple of big goals for Liverpool in his time,
08:17but it's just his first Premier League start of the season, Jamie.
08:20It's so difficult for him to get in the side. You know, when you look at the players that he's
08:23trying to compete against, McAllister's top, Graven Birch or whoever it is in that midfield,
08:28Sobber Slide, Curtis Jones, if he wants to play in the wide areas, he's up against,
08:33you know, one of the other best players in the world. So it's very difficult, you know,
08:36when you're trying to compete with Salah and players like that. But he's involved,
08:40he's getting his games, he's getting his minutes, but he'll want more than this.
08:43It's not good when you're a young player, you want to be playing regularly, but it'll be
08:46really hard for them to leave Liverpool. And you need these players,
08:47it's just been mentioned, Endo, Jones, Elliot. These are the players that get you over the line.
08:51You need them, they're inviting your squad players. Obviously, Sal and all these players
08:54will get the headlines, but you need really good squad players. You have a good attitude,
08:57and when they're needed and they're called upon, they're ready. I'm not sure what that 20 means.
09:03Someone's birthday.
09:05It is 20 top flight titles for Liverpool, under Arnestad in his first season.
09:11And Liverpool are the visitors to Stamford Bridge today. It's Chelsea against Liverpool.
09:16Chelsea looking for the win to keep them right in the mix for Champions League football come
09:20the end of the season. Kick off is up, surely.
09:33Sponsored by Bet365.
09:36Yeah, broken down in the middle of nowhere.
09:38No, we'll miss the whole party.
09:40Yeah, look, there's nothing we can actually do about it, so...
09:43Genius here. Forgot to put petrol in the car.
09:48Classic dad.
09:49You're welcome.
09:53Toad trip guy said four hours.
09:55If we're lucky.
09:57I know they're going to hate us.
09:58Oh no.
09:59There's no...
09:59There's no...
09:59There's no...
10:00There's no...
