Liverpool XI vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Reigning champions Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, aiming to bounce back immediately from their first league defeat of the season.

A shock 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace last weekend ended their perfect start. This was followed by a midweek Champions League defeat in Istanbul, leaving Arne Slot’s side looking for a firm response.

The Reds face a tough task, however, against a depleted but resurgent Chelsea side that secured a morale-boosting Champions League win in midweek. Liverpool are currently unbeaten in their last four Premier League visits to Stamford Bridge. Overcoming their own growing injury list to extend that run will be key to getting their title defence back on track.

Liverpool team news

Arne Slot is facing his first major selection crisis of the season. First-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been ruled out with an injury sustained in midweek, meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to make his Premier League debut. There are also significant doubts over forwards Federico Chiesa and Hugo Ekitike.

However, this provides a clear opportunity for Alexander Isak to lead the line. The striker will be full of confidence, having scored on each of his last two Premier League appearances at Stamford Bridge for his former club.
