The Blues are currently on a three-match winning run in the top-flight and they are the most in-form team over the past five matches.

They have a huge task on their hands to beat the Reds and may need more quality off the bench to come up with a positive result.

Ahead of the game, the fans will be pleased that Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto have been named as part of the matchday squad.

Nkunku has been on the sidelines for the past few weeks with a hip problem, but he has managed to recover in time for the game.

Gusto has also recovered from a minor issue. Both players could be involved in the second half if the Blues have a winning chance.

Chelsea and Liverpool have played out five Premier League draws on the bounce. Both teams will be hoping to be on the winning side this time.
