LONDON — In a formidable display of skill and speed, Eden Hazard slalomed past Liverpool players before scoring the goal that sealed Chelsea’s progress in the League Cup. And the teams have a swift reunion, with Chelsea hosting unbeaten early front-runner Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday. Emerson Palmieri levelled after Daniel Sturridge gave Liverpool the lead in the 58th minute before Hazard’s mesmerizing winner in the 85th minute. The Belgium winger went past two Liverpool players around the halfway line before sending the ball through Robert Firmino’s legs to Cesar Azpilicueta on the right flank. “For sure it’s on top of the list (of goals) also because it’s Liverpool,” Hazard told broadcaster Sky Sports.
