THE LOWDOWN
CHELSEA
- Chelsea’s 0-2 defeat at home to Aston Villa finally saw the end of Graham Potter as Blues boss after the hosts demonstrated further lack of conviction offensively combined with a soft under-belly defensively.
- Centre-back Thiago Silva remains out and his leadership within the Chelsea will be sorely missed again with fellow vastly experienced defender Cesar Azpilicueta also unavailable for the hosts.
LIVERPOOL
- Jurgen Klopp had every right to be furious with his side on Saturday after their second-half collapse away at Man City which saw them lose 4-1 after going in at half-time with the scores level at 1-1.
- Klopp has warned that he will make changes for their trip to Chelsea and it would be no surprise if more experience was brought into the starting line-up in the shape of James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to name two players, whilst Darwin Nunez should also come into the team.
THE TEAM NEWS
CHELSEA
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Kepa; Badiashile, Koulibaly, Cucurella; James, Fernandez, Kovacic, Chilwell; Ziyech, Havertz; Felix
UNAVAILABLE: Thiago Silva (Injured) Azpilicueta (Injured), Broja (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: W. Fofana (Injured), Mendy (Injured), Sterling (Fitness), Aubameyang (Injured)
LIVERPOOL
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Gakpo, Darwin
UNAVAILABLE: Ramsay (Injured), Keita (injured), Bajcetic (Injured), Thiago (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Diaz (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
For Chelsea, their only real focus at this stage has to be the Champions League and their quarter-final clash with Real Madrid as they continue to lose ground on the European places domestically. Without a permanent head coach as it stands, they feel in a state of limbo which is likely to remain in place until the summer unless a quick appointment is made. Liverpool meanwhile, are hurt, like a wounded animal, pride dented by Man City and following Klopp’s strong words, are expected to show a big response. The Reds still boast plenty of quality options going forward and should bounce back to gain at least a point, if not all three at Stamford Bridge.
TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE - DRAW/LIVERPOOL
