Liverpool vs Chelsea team news

Liverpool have doubts over Fabinho who suffered a family bereavement last week while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner are also rated as doubtful.

Chelsea for their part are without Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek who are both ruled out following positive coronavirus tests.

There is plenty of optimism in both camps heading into this game and rightly so given their positive respective performances.

Liverpool look to have recovered their defensive solidity thanks in large part to the return of both Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip, while up front the attacking quartet of Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have all already found the back of the net this term.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have taken a considerable step up in quality from last season with the signing of Romelu Lukaku and the way the Blues swept past Arsenal last week looked ominous for the rest of the division.

Both sides have more than enough quality in the final third to get on the score sheet this weekend, especially given the confidence the attacking players on the pitch will have from having already netted this season.
