A huge test for Chelsea today, away against leaders Liverpool at Anfield. Playing against one of the best in the league is always a litmus test for your own team.

With two of the usual starters suspended, Enzo Maresca has opted to hand the league start to Tosin Adarabioyo… AND REECE JAMES!? Well okay then. Malo Gusto switches to the left flank. And we also get Roméo Lavia instead of Enzo Fernández. Interesting.

Here we go!

Liverpool starting XI:
Kelleher | Van Dijk, Konaté, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Robertson, Gravenberch, Alexander-Arnold

Substitutes for: Jaros, Gomez, Endo, Diaz, Nunez, Mac Allister, Tsimikas, Quansah, Morton

Chelsea starting line-up (4-2-3-1):
Sanchez | Gusto, Colwill, Tosin, James (c) | Caicedo, Lavia | Sancho, Palmer, Madueke | Jackson
