Played for both: 10 Premier League names at Chelsea and Liverpool

Joe Cole
Ex-England star Cole played his best football at the Bridge (2003-2010), and turned out almost 300 times in Blue winning 10 trophies. A career-threatening injury towards the end of his time at Chelsea hampered him, however, and that was why, during his subsequent time on the books at Anfield, Cole struggled to recapture his best form.

Glen Johnson
Like fellow West Ham old boy Cole, Johnson went on to play for the Blues and Liverpool, where he is currently sidelined with a groin strain. During Mourinho’s first stint, he failed to displace Paulo Ferreira from the right back berth and moved on to Portsmouth. Johnson’s contract at Anfield is also up at the end of this season, so where will his future lie?

Raul Meireles
Our ‘played for both’ list so far is lacking some engine room aggression. Ex-Portugal midfielder Meireles, now at Fenerbahce, has this in bucket loads. He switched directly between Liverpool and Chelsea in the summer of 2011 for a fee of £12m, and helped the Blues to an FA Cup and Champions League double.

Victor Moses
Crystal Palace academy product Moses joined Chelsea via Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2012, but has been loaned out for each of the last two seasons as there are so many wide players on the books. Last term, he spent the campaign with Liverpool, but managed a sole Premier League goal.

Daniel Sturridge
If only England striker Sturridge was fit, then Liverpool would be shorter than 9/2 to win the second leg in 90 minutes. His absence through injury has really hurt Rodgers’ Reds this term. Sturridge switched from Chelsea to Anfield for a reported £12m in January 2013 after never really being first-choice in west London.

Fernando Torres
From being a player that rocked the Kop to a £50m flop; Torres turned out for both Liverpool and the Blues, but has now left England for good. Back at boyhood club Atletico Madrid, on loan from AC Milan, this Spanish superstar fired in 81 goals in less than 150 outings in Red, but saved his best for European club competitions at Chelsea.

Bolo Zenden
Injuries restricted Dutch midfielder Zenden during his spells at the Bridge and Anfield, with time at Middlesbrough sandwiched in between. He was popular with both sets of supporters, though, perhaps because his name slotted easily into a chant to the tune of 2 Unlimited’s 90s techno classic “No Limit”.
