Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of an early-season heavyweight clash. Frank Lampard’s big-spending Chelsea host champions Liverpool hoping to lay down a marker for their title credentials. The Reds arrive in London having significantly bolstered their own squad in recent days and will aim to show that they are still the team to beat. Kick off 16:30 BST.

Some more words from a Chelsea new boy: "I was dreaming of this as a kid" says Kai Havertz, who also discusses his friendship with Timo Werner.

VIDEO: Timo Werner explains why he is so happy he picked Chelsea over Liverpool with his big Premier League move in the summer.

Chelsea make just one change from their victory over Brighton. Mateo Kovacic replaces Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the midfield. Summer additions Thiago Silva and Hakim Ziyech are still not fit enough to be involved.

The big news for Liverpool is that one of their new signings, Thiago Alcantara is on the bench. However, there is a slight blow for Jurgen Klopp as both Joe Gomez and Joel Matip miss out through injury. That means Fabinho partners Virgil van Dijk in defence. Otherwise, it's pretty much as expected for the champions, although their latest recruit, Diogo Jota is not involved.
