Chelsea
Chelsea lost both Reece James and Andreas Christensen to thigh and back problems respectively in the draw with Brighton, while Ben Chilwell is now confirmed to be undergoing surgery on his ACL problem.

Thiago Silva faces a late fitness test while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is struggling with his ankle problem and the COVID-positive Timo Werner did not return to training before the Brighton draw.

Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr may be required to feature from the off in this depleted Chelsea side, and it would not be a surprise to see Kai Havertz provide some fresh legs up top - especially if Romelu Lukaku's recent interview will leave him on the naughty step.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Rudiger; Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, Kante, Alonso; Ziyech, Mount; Havertz

Liverpool
As for Liverpool, Andy Robertson serves the third and final game of his suspension following his sending off against Tottenham, while Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita are available ahead of the imminent Africa Cup of Nations.

Takumi Minamino and Thiago Alcantara are still on the injury list after failing to shake off muscle injuries, while Nat Phillips, Adrian, Divock Origi and Harvey Elliott also remain absent.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Henderson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Jota, Mane
Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool
