These are the Chelsea vs Liverpool confirmed lineups for their Premier League clash. They meet in the late Saturday kick-off with the vibes around either side being suboptimal. Two consecutive defeats for the Reds and doubts about their key summer signings leave them with some questions while the Blues are the walking wounded.

Rob Sanchez starts in goal with a back line of Malo Gusto, Josh Acheampong, Benoit Badiashile, and Marc Cucurella. Reece James pushes into midfield alongside Moises Caicedo allowing Enzo Fernandez to start at the number ten spot. Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto are the wingers with Joaoa Pedro up front.
