Thomas Tuchel fields a stong looking eleven on paper for his Chelsea outfit as Liverpool FC welcome the Blues at Anfield for what promises to be a high-octane game.
Three changes in the teamsheet are due for the Blues, with Timo Werner being drafted as the sole presence upfront and Olivier Giroud being relegated down to the bench.
Despite the return of Thiago Silva to team training earlier this week, the Brazillian international centre-back is not included in today’s matchday squad, meaning that Andreas Christensen keeps his spot in the XI alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Jorginho is preferred by Tuchel over Mateo Kovacic and the former partners N’Golo Kante in the middle of the pitch for the visitors.
Callum Hudson-Odoi features on the bench following his return from a recent injury niggle.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
