How to Watch Chelsea vs Liverpool

Read More on Sports

Premier League leader Liverpool is looking to assert some dominance away to Chelsea on Saturday after the club saw its perfect start to the season end last week. In fact, the Reds are in the midst of a miniature crisis after suddenly losing their last two games, having also succumbed away to Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Crystal Palace has provided the rest of England's elite a blueprint to beating Liverpool after Oliver Glasner masterminded an unexpected upset at Selhurst Park. And it would appear confidence is suddenly lacking for Liverpool, who now face a third consecutive trip away from home just before the international break.

Enzo Mareca's men are without a win in three league fixtures themselves, though Chelsea did manage a midweek Champions League win over Jose Mourinho's Benfica. The European distraction wasn't as kind to the Merseysiders, who will be without Brazil goalkeeper Alisson after he was injured in Istanbul.

Giorgi Mamardashvili will therefore come into the Liverpool XI, while Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni are listed as doubts for the trip to London. Chelsea, meanwhile, will be without suspended defender Trevoh Chalobah and have an injury list comprising the likes of Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, and Romeo Lavia, as well as center-back trio Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, and Levi Colwill.
