Liverpool
Liverpool's worst Alisson fears were confirmed immediately after his Crystal Palace withdrawal, and the Brazilian is now set to be sidelined until after the November international break; Caoimhin Kelleher will deputise after missing the Selhurst Park success through illness.
Alisson joins foot fracture victim Harvey Elliott on the Liverpool sidelines, and there has been no update on the condition of Federico Chiesa, but the former Juventus man would have never started over Mohamed Salah following the Egyptian's early return from international duty.
Slot also admitted in his press conference that the Reds were dealing with "some issues" from the international break, so it would not be a shock to see some of the South American contingent rested from the first whistle; Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo can deputise for Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz respectively.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Jota
Chelsea
While James Ward-Prowse's comical red card stole the disciplinary headlines in Chelsea's clash with Forest, the Blues incurred two suspensions of their own; Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella both picked up their fifth yellow cards of the campaign and will miss the Anfield battle.
Cucurella's absence opens the door for Renato Veiga to take on the unenviable task of keeping Salah quiet, while Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo will scrap it out to replace Fofana in the heart of the backline.
In brighter news, perpetual injury victim Reece James is back in training after hurting his hamstring in pre-season and has been passed fit for this one, and Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is seemingly fine despite a scare over the international break.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Veiga; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea
