Arne Slot has promised to “mix it up” when Liverpool play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

After Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions last weekend, Slot has said “it's not going to be four games with the same line-up as we had against Tottenham”.

Harvey Elliott, Jarell Quansah, Federico Chiesa and Kostas Tsimikas are among the players who could come into the team, while Liverpool expect Conor Bradley to be back in contention.

Elliott and little-used summer signing Chiesa are looking for chances to state their case to remain at Anfield beyond this season.

"My lineups will be different to what we've had the last 10 months, (we) won't change everyone but there will be some rotation,” said Slot. “Not to say we will lose, we have a lot of trust in those (players).

"I think some of the players deserved to play earlier because they have trained so well and are good enough, but I mainly chose the same players so I see where they are looking ahead to next season a bit, but also because they deserve to play this season.”

Alisson should remain in goal ahead of Caoimhin Kelleher, while Tsimikas and Jarell Quansah will be pushing for involvement in defence in addition to Bradley, who will likely be on the bench.

Wataru Endo, Elliott and Curtis Jones are all options to move into midfield, while Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez will compete to come into the frontline.

If Bradley makes the matchday squad, it will leave fellow defender Joe Gomez as Liverpool’s only absentee as he continues to recover from hamstring surgery.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Elliott, Salah, Jones, Chiesa, Jota

Doubt: Bradley

Injured: Gomez
