After a successful international break, football fans are eagerly anticipating the Premier League showdown between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield this weekend. With just four points separating the two teams, it's sure to be an intense and thrilling match.
However, there's some news that may cause concern for Liverpool fans. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be out of action until the end of next month due to a hamstring injury. This means he will miss several crucial games, including the clash against Chelsea, as well as two Champions League fixtures. But, as always, the Reds have a capable replacement in Caoimhin Kelleher.
On the other hand, Chelsea have had a fairly settled back four this season, but will be without Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana due to suspensions. They will be replaced by Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill, while Renato Veiga may also step in for Cucurella.
As for injuries, Liverpool welcomed back key players Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk earlier than expected, while Chelsea's Alexis Mac Allister and Federico Chiesa have also recovered from their respective injuries. However, Harvey Elliot remains sidelined with a foot injury.
With both teams facing some challenges, it will be interesting to see how they line up for this highly anticipated match. Liverpool may feature Kelleher, Trent Alexander Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, van Dijk, and Andrew Robertson in their back line, with Salah, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Brahim Diaz, and Diogo Jota in the attack.
Chelsea, on the other hand, may have Sanchez, Gusto, Adarabioyo, Colwill, and Veiga in their defense, with Caicedo, Fernandez, Noni Madueke, Conor Palmer, and Jadon Sancho leading their attack. It's worth noting that Reece James is still recovering from injury and may not make an appearance in such a crucial game.
For those wondering where to watch the match, it will be broadcasted on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with a live stream available through the Sky Go app and NOW TV. So, make sure to tune in at 4:30pm on Sunday 20 October for what promises to be an exciting and intense game between these two top teams.
