Both clubs are set to miss a lot of players through injuries for this match. Liverpool suffered a fresh blow in the form of an injury to Kostas Tsimikas. Besides, they will also continue to miss Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, Arthur and Luis Diaz. On a positive front though Darwin Nunez could return in time to start this match.
On the other hand, Chelsea’s line-up will be all about their exciting new expensive signing. Mykhaylo Mudryk could very well make his debut in this game but its not sure whether he will start or will come from the bench. Besides, there are question marks over the participation of Kai Havertz, while Joao Felix will continue to be suspended. They will also be without Reece James, Armando Broja, Edouard Mendy, N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Christian Pulisic and Denis Zakaria.
Liverpool possible line-up: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Konate, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
