Team News
Chelsea
None of Armando Broja (knee), Cesar Azpilicueta (knee) or Thiago Silva (knee) will be seen in blue for the hosts this week, and the fixture may also come too soon for Edouard Mendy (finger) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (back) to make their returns to the fold.

However, there is hope that Raheem Sterling can shake off a hamstring concern to earn some minutes against his former club, and the same can be said for Wesley Fofana, who Potter claimed should be in with a chance of returning to the squad for Tuesday's battle.

Whether either man is fit enough to force their way into the first XI remains to be seen, but the likes of Benoit Badiashile, Mason Mount and maybe even N'Golo Kante - who made his first Premier League appearance since August off the bench against Villa - could benefit from some desired rotation from Saltor.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Badiashile, Koulibaly, Fofana; James, Fernandez, Kante, Chilwell; Mount, Havertz; Felix

Liverpool
Meanwhile, Liverpool's long-term absentees Calvin Ramsay (knee) and Stefan Bajcetic (adductor) remain absent, while Naby Keita is also at risk of missing the remainder of the season with a fresh muscular problem.

Luis Diaz has made his return to team training as he closes in on a comeback from knee surgery, but he will not be considered for selection just yet either, while Thiago Alcantara (hip) is also a couple of weeks away from returning to the turf.

While Klopp's midfield options are severely limited, both of Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez could freshen up the forward line, while Andrew Robertson endured a torrid afternoon at the Etihad and could be afforded a rest as Kostas Tsimikas comes in.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Henderson, Fabinho; Salah, Firmino, Jota; Nunez
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool
