The top two clubs in the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Liverpool and Chelsea. The first-division clash scheduled for 9:05 a.m. ET will be held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free.
Being top of the league would be enough to devour most managers in England, but not Brendan Rodgers. The Liverpool boss is looking for his 12th straight win and has never slept better as the club inches closer to ending its 24-year drought (h/t to the Daily Mail). "People say, 'You must not sleep at night.' I've never slept better. It's absolutely great. It's why we work," Rodgers said.
"I see the joy in the players and in their training and there is no anxiety. It's good to be involved in. The only way you get the experience is by going through it—win or lose," he added.
"No matter what happens this season, we will have had a brilliant season and will look to sustain that and build on it next season, no matter where we finish."
