It’s Blues against Reds, the eternal battle. Champions of the World against Champions of England.
Liverpool have lost back-to-back games; Chelsea have not been in great form either but we did grind out a 1-0 win midweek. Our injury list has not gotten any smaller, but Enzo Maresca has cobbled together a lineup that, with a bit of luck, might get it done. Would be a great time for someone to step up and put in a match-winning performance.
Young midfielder Landon Emenalo, son of former director Michael Emenalo, makes the bench for the first time to help shore up the numbers.
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Sánchez | Cucurella, Badiashile, Acheampong, Gusto | Caicedo, James (c) | Garnacho, Enzo, Neto | João Pedro
Substitutes from: Jörgensen, Slonina, Hato, Lavia, Emenalo, Buonanotte, Estêvão, Gittens, Guiu
