Team news
Joel Matip should return to the team for Liverpool having missed their last two fixtures with a thigh problem.
Wijnaldum is a doubt and unlikely to be fit enough here though for the hosts.
Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Andreas Christensen and Gary Cahill will return to the starting XI following rotation in midweek.
Both Willian and Pedro could find themselves on the bench here with Eden Hazard starting behind Alvaro Morata.
Expected starting XI’s
Liverpool (4-3-3): Mignolet; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Can, Henderson, Coutinho; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Chelsea (3-5-1-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill; Zappacosta, Fabregas, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso; Hazard; Morata
