Ryan Gravenberch has got the attributes to be Liverpool's number six. He's good on the ball, he's athletic, he can be a number eight, possibly a 10.

But I think that number six position, especially when you've got Curtis Jones playing next to you, it's suiting him really well. It's been a brilliant decision from Slot to play him there.

Arne Slot has brought a bit of calmness.

Defensively Liverpool look more solid. Under Jurgen Klopp it was amazing to watch, but as defenders you could be exposed.

The timing which defenders drop back and push up is a lot more balanced.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to MOTD: "Many other games were hard but this might have been the hardest maybe because of the amount of quality players they have and the structure they have. We had to fight really hard to get this one over the line.

"We defended so strong through the whole team. There was incredible work rate. The game became difficult for us because there were a few decisions in my opinion that didn't go for us, the most crucial was when we thought we had the penalty before half time. To go 2-0 before half time would make a massive difference from 1-0. Then we conceded but we stepped up again and scored the second.

"The better the teams you face the more you need it [fight]. In the Premier League there are so many good teams so if you want to win at least you need to fight and then hopefully the individuals can make the difference.

"It helps if you play against a Chelsea, it is a big game and everyone feels it. We felt it and the fans felt it because they were there for us today.

"We showed up, that was the most important thing."

Curtis Jones was outstanding. He's still at that stage where he has not made himself first choice.

For a local lad to put a performance in like that, it's outstanding.

He has got to keep playing like that. He is going to get plenty of games.

People start to get carried away as you start to win games, but Chelsea are still progressing as a team. They are a work in progress, they still need to beat one of the big boys.

Chelsea defender Reece James, to Sky Sports: "Coming here is always tough. I think we controlled most of the game. They had chances but we had a few chances as well but didn't take them.

"We are definitely moving in the right direction. The scoreline doesn't reflect the game.

"If we step back and look at performances and what we are trying to do, we have come a long way. It is still early days, we haven't been with the manager long."

I played with Curtis Jones and he has always had the ability.

You can see he has grown up a lot and he kept Cole Palmer quiet today. Playing on that side of the pitch he has come off with a goal and performed top-class.

On what today's result says about Chelsea's prospects...

I think they'll finish fourth, as I said at the start of the season.

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, to Sky Sports: "The win is the most important thing. I was involved a lot but I'm happy that we won."

On his block on Cole Palmer: "We know how important he is and how many goals he scores, so I had it in my mind to keep him quiet and it is a huge part of their game gone."

On the penalty decision: "I never dive. I felt the , went down and it was a penalty."

On the overturned penalty: "I've not seen it. I know we collided but I've not seen it back so can't really say."

On his goal: "There's been times when I have arrived in the box and it is a first-time finish. As soon as Mo had the ball I made the run, but it bounced so I had to have a touch, and then thankfully it went in."

Liverpool started the day top and they will end the day top after a near-two-hour spell when Manchester City were in first place.

Chelsea missed the chance to go third.

Liverpool are challengers now.

In the way they can see out a game and can adapt to a game.

I believe they have a chance to go all the way this year.

It is already looking worrying for the bottom four in the Premier League. Wolves were seconds away from moving off the bottom of the table, but conceded a 95th-minute winner to Manchester City.

Crystal Palace will move out of the relegation zone if they avoid defeat at Nottingham Forest in the Monday night football.

It was a brilliant game and Chelsea's players played their part. It feels like the first big result for Arne Slot at Anfield.

Liverpool were under the cosh and they needed the Anfield crowd to get them over the line.

Liverpool were not at their best, but they found a way to win.

Both managers entered the Premier League, but Arne Slot has picked up a team which is further ahead. Both sets of fans are clapping, Chelsea fans think they're team has done OK today.

As he heads onto the pitch Arne Slot turns around and heads straight over to Curtis Jones, who was instrumental in Liverpool winning today.

That's 10 wins out of 11 in all competitions for Arne Slot since replacing Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool boss.

Top of the Premier League, maximum points so far in the Champions League and into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.

Liverpool fans loving life.

Liverpool back on top of the Premier League.
