Liverpool host Chelsea in the Premier League looking to wrap up Champions League qualification and bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to Manchester United.
Arne Slot’s side suffered a chastening defeat at Old Trafford, despite a fight from two goals down, but a win would secure a top-five finish with two games to play.
Chelsea arrive at Anfield having lost their last six games in a row in the Premier League, but their own Champions League hopes are still not over yet.
If Aston Villa win the Europa League and finish fifth, sixth place would be enough for Champions League. The Blues are four points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Kick-off at Anfield is at 12:30pm BST.
It will be shown live on TNT Sports 1 and HBO Max.
Alexander Isak and goalkeeper and Giorgi Mamardashvili could return after missing the defeat at Manchester United, but Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah remain out. Florian Wirtz, who missed training with illness on Wednesday, is expected to be available.
Chelsea are hopeful Levi Colwill and Reece James could feature, but Robert Sanchez is out due to a head injury and Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are doubts due to knocks.
Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Frimpong, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Isak
