This is the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their high-stakes clash with Liverpool in the Premier League. Enzo Maresca will be hoping to extend his run of matches without a loss despite a tough trip to Anfield awaiting him. Suspensions to Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana offer up some headaches in the defence which he’ll have to sort out to deal with the attacking threat of Mo Salah and Luis Diaz.

Robert Sanchez gets the nod in goal with a back four made up of Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto, Reece James, and Tosin Adarabioyo. Moises Caicedo is partnered in midfield by Romeo Lavia with an attacking four of Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Jadon Sancho.
There is surprisingly no Filip Jorgensen on the bench as Marcus Bettinelli is the only goalkeeper there. He is joined by Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Renato Veiga, Enzo Fernandez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, and Christopher Nkunku.
Chelsea Lineup: Sanchez, Tosin, Gusto, Colwill, James, Lavia, Caicedo, Sancho, Madueke, Palmer, Jackson
Notable Changes
In a massive surprise James is back in the starting lineup right off the bat, this is the first time the captain has been available all season and will be thrown right in at the deep end. He and Gusto starting leaves no room for Veiga who could have played at left-back but will instead have to wait for his chance.
Lavia also makes a return to the starting eleven to help rest Fernandez who played for Argentina over the international break.
