Liverpool Vs Chelsea Preview
After a shaky start at Anfield under Andoni Iraola, the Spaniard has now won back-to-back games on Merseyside. Liverpool beat Villarreal 4-3 in the Champions League and got the better of Brighton 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday. Iraola has now won four consecutive games across all competitions.
As for the Blues, a lethargic and sluggish display against rivals Spurs on Saturday saw Xabi Alonso’s side succumb to a 2-0 loss. The former Red and 2005 Champions League winner returns to Anfield for the third time as manager. On his two previous visits, his Bayer Leverkusen side lost 4-0 and his Real Madrid charges went down 1-0.

Liverpool Vs Chelsea Team News
With a trip to Arsenal coming up this weekend, Liverpool may be tempted to give the likes of Alisson and Virgil van Dijk the night off to ensure they are fresh for the champions. The same will likely apply to Bradley Barcola and Florian Wirtz. Wonderkid Rio Ngumoha will likely earn a starting berth with Trey Nyoni and Lewis Koumas also featuring from the off.
As for Chelsea, they have the Man United fixture in mind so they too could make a number of changes. It appears as though Estevao will feature from the off and former Red Jordan Henderson is likely to start on the bench. Cole Palmer is suspended.
