How Liverpool could line up against Chelsea

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has very few concerns to work around for Saturday evening's Premier League visit of Chelsea.

The Reds were without Fabinho for last week's victory over Burnley due to the death of his father, but the Brazilian lynchpin could return in time to face the Blues.

The same can be said for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was unavailable last weekend following the birth of his child, while James Milner's knock represents Liverpool's only concern on the injury front.

Kostas Tsimikas has impressed in the Andy Robertson role during the Scot's injury layoff, but Robertson is back in the fold now and should displace his Greek counterpart in an otherwise unchanged rearguard.

Supporters are licking their lips at the prospect of Virgil van Dijk vs. Romelu Lukaku at Anfield, and the Dutchman should once again partner Joel Matip in front of Alisson Becker.

Should he return for the clash, Fabinho is an undisputed starter in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson, while Harvey Elliott played the full 90 against Burnley but may make way for the more experienced Thiago Alcantara here.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane - the latter of whom boasts seven Premier League goals in this fixture - will resume their roles out wide, while Diogo Jota will hope to hold off competition from Roberto Firmino to start up top.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Jota, Mane
