Chelsea vs Liverpool Confirmed Lineups for October 4

These are the Chelsea vs Liverpool confirmed lineups for their Premier League clash. They meet in the late Saturday kick-off with the vibes around either side being suboptimal. Two consecutive defeats for the Reds and doubts about their key summer signings leave them with some questions while the Blues are the walking wounded. A mid-week win over Benfica did little to help matters as they will still be without a number of key players in this one, including almost all of their senior centre-backs.
