Chelsea will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League against Liverpool this evening.

The Blues have failed to win in the last three league outings and will be keen to end the streak at Stamford Bridge.

Let’s have a look how the Blues could line up against the Reds.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Robert Sanchez has been ever-present in goal in the Premier League and he is guaranteed to start ahead of Filip Jorgensen.

In front of him, there will be an enforced change in central defence with Trevoh Chalobah suspended after his red card against Brighton last weekend.

Josh Acheampong and Benoit Badiashile are likely to line up in the heart of the backline, with Reece James and Marc Cucurella on either side.

Romeo Lavia could make his first start of the campaign in midfield alongside Moises Caicedo. Enzo Fernandez could slot in the no.10 role in the continued injury absence of Cole Palmer.

In the final third, Estevao Willian is a strong candidate to start on the right wing, while Pedro Neto looks poised to start on the opposite flank.

Joao Pedro was sent off in the Champions League in midweek, but he is eligible to face the Reds. The Brazilian will lead the line today.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Liverpool: Sanchez; James, Acheampong, Badiashile, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo; Estevao, Enzo, Neto; Pedro.
