Bayern Munich right-back Joshua Kimmich has said that the rest of the Premier League are in the shadow of league leaders Liverpool.
Liverpool are 22 points clear at the top of the table, having beaten West Ham United 3-2 at Anfield on Monday.
Ahead of Bayern's meeting with Chelsea on Tuesday, Kimmich told reporters: "A very young squad but some very good players with a lot of talent.
"I think in the last few weeks they haven't been as consistent as they can be. They are fourth in the table but everyone is in the shadow of Liverpool. I expect a great atmosphere tomorrow. We must be brave in how we perform."
Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League, despite being banned from signing players during the summer.
Frank Lampard will have Tammy Abraham available to call upon, but Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi remain doubts.
