Liverpool have hit a bit of a blip as they prepare to take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday evening. Indeed, the Reds have lost their last two games in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Chelsea overcame a 3-1 defeat at home to Brighton in the Premier League last time out with a 1-0 win against former head coach Jose Mourinho's Benfica in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in midweek. Nonetheless, that should give the Blues some confidence of getting another positive result here.

Chelsea preview: Chalobah suspended
Trevoh Chalobah is suspended after picking up a red card against Brighton. The Blues have reported no fresh injury concerns, although Cole Palmer is among the big names on the treatment table.
Predicted lineup: Sanchez (GK); James, Acheampong, Badiashile, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Estevao, Buonanotte, Neto & Pedro
Last five results:
- Chelsea 1-0 Benfica
- Chelsea 1-3 Brighton
- Lincoln 1-2 Chelsea

- Bayern Munich 3-1 Chelsea
Liverpool preview: Alisson injury blow
Arne Slot has already confirmed that Alisson will miss this game after picking up an injury against Galatasaray last time out. Hugo Ekitike was also forced off in that defeat, and so is also a doubt.
Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK); Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo & Isak
Last five results:
- Galatasaray 1-0 Liverpool
- Crystal Palace 2-1 Liverpool
- Liverpool 2-1 Southampton
- Liverpool 2-1 Everton
- Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid
Player to watch: Joao Pedro
Joao Pedro picked up a needless red card late on in Chelsea's victory against Benfica in midweek. Luckily for him, he will not serve his suspension in the Premier League, and so the Brazilian will want to make amends straight away against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
