FORTRESS ANFIELD: Liverpool are unbeaten at home this term and have lost just two of their last 33 league matches on home turf (W20, D11, L2).
6'
Milner teases a pass through Sturridge who sees a half chance snuffed out by some alert defending by Cahill. Sturridge featured in 63 league, scoring 13 times during his time with the Blues.

Chelsea break and win a corner on the right. Hazard's initial delivery is well dealt with, but the Belgian gets a second chance and volleys a devilish cross into the area that Liverpool just about divert to safety.
4'
Salah gets the first sight of goal 25 yards out, but his attempted curler is easily blocked.
3'
Joel Matip back at the heart of the home defence after missing two games with a thigh strain. His presence will be a boost following the second-half issues in Sevilla on Tuesday night.

Chelsea are hoping to cut the gap between themselves and leaders Man City to six points ahead of the Citizens' trip to Huddersfield on Sunday afternoon. Antonio Conte's men are third, four points behind Manchester United in second, who edged past Brighton this afternoon. The Blues were boosted ahead of this Anfield encounter by Tottenham's 1-1 draw at home to West Brom. It means Spurs miss out on the chance to leap up to third.

Alberto Moreno had a shocker for Liverpool in Sevilla on Tuesday night - but Klopp is keeping faith with the Spaniard today. The Reds boss said: "I had a talk, of course, to Alberto and I am really happy about his shape and his performances. Yes, in this game, it was obviously (difficult)... And that then is really my responsibility, that (we) could have done different things. So that is how it is. It is not the player to blame. I am 100 per cent responsible for that. I told him I still trust him 100 per cent."

Antonio Conte was not happy his side had to travel back from Baku ahead of this one, despite a routine 4-0 success against Qarabag. He said: "To have only one day to rest and only one day to prepare this big game is not simple, is not easy. I think also it's not right. I don't want to make excuses, but this is the reality. Also, when people hear the complaints of the coach, also someone has to help us. The press, the TV, to underline this strange situation."
