Chelsea vs Liverpool match preview
Chelsea have had a busy summer in the transfer market, spending over £200 million on a number of high-profile signings. Unfortunately, Frank Lampard has confirmed a slew of match fitness and injury concerns, which means that the only new signings likely to start against Liverpool will be Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
But after scoring three goals against Brighton last Monday, Chelsea will be heading into their Home encounter against Liverpool in high spirits.

Liverpool seemingly have no fresh injury concerns, although it will be too early for new signing Thiago Alcântara to be involved.
Mohamed Salah will be the player to watch, after scoring a hatrick against Leeds last weekend. However, after conceding three goals in the same match after calamitous mistakes from Van Dijk and Gomez, Liverpool’s defence is looking very vulnerable at the moment.
