Chelsea will welcome Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues managed to secure a dominant 4-1 win away at Djurgarden earlier this week which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.
Enzo Maresca will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first team for this contest. Robert Sanchez, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto could play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Liverpool
Defence
Robert Sanchez, who is a slight concern ahead of this game, will operate in goal for the Blues after being rested in midweek. Levi Colwill will play alongside Trevoh Chalobah at the centre of the Chelsea backline as they look to maintain a good shape on the defensive third of the pitch.
Moises Caicedo will fill in as the right-back while Marc Cucurella looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would have to perform their defensive duties well before trying to offer some decent service to their teammates up top.
Benoit Badiashile will provide cover for the centre-half positions on the bench.
Midfield
Enzo Fernandez will anchor the midfield along with Romeo Lavia as they look to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will function just ahead of them as part of the Chelsea attack. All three of them need to move the ball well in the Liverpool half if they want to engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.
Jadon Sancho and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Nicolas Jackson will lead the line for the West London club up top. He has to figure out a way to cause some headaches for the Liverpool centre-backs throughout the 90 minutes.
Tyrique George will have to settle for a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the final quarter of the game if the Blues are in need of a goal by then.
