Liverpool make a few changes to the side that beat Norwich last Friday. In come Joe Gomez, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane, replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Gini Wijnaldum, Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi. Naby Keita is out with a thigh strain.
Chelsea have a more experienced and conservative look to them than they did against Manchester United. In comes N’Golo Kante as part of a midfield three, Christian Pulisic makes his first start and Olivier Giroud is up front. The players who drop out are the youthful Mason Mount, Ross Barkley and Tammy Abraham.
Liverpool: Adrian; Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Milner; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Mane.
Chelsea: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Pedro, Giroud, Pulisic.
