Chelsea vs Liverpool - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Arne Slot's men look to bounce back from two defeats in a row

Arne Slot, Liverpool manager:

If the reaction is after you lose against [Crystal] Palace you lose another game, you can argue if that is positive. But I saw a team that wanted to try, from the first second until the last second, everything to get a result.

Different to the Palace game, we won much more second balls, we were – like in the Palace game – close to a result.

I've said many times that last season the margins are so small, and that's the same this season again and we are trying to find the way that is not about luck or bad luck or is not about a set-piece goal scored or against.

Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager:

Mohamed Salah is back in the Liverpool team after being benched in midfield, and Alexander Isak also starts, with Hugo Ekitike on the bench.

Looks like Conor Bradley will be at right back with Dominik Szoboszlai in an advanced role.

A makeshift Chelsea side, but they can indeed get one out.

Josh Acheampong comes into the defence, with Reece James seemingly in midfield.

It looks like Enzo Fernandez will play in attacking midfield, flanked by Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho.

Joao Pedro is fit enough to lead the line.

Goooood afternoon one and all and welcome to Daily Mail Sport's live coverage of Chelsea vs Liverpool in the Premier League!

It's a big one today - and now just because of the size of the two teams in action.

Liverpool are looking to avoid a third defeat in a row - yes, a third! - in the capital this evening. After losses against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, people have been suggesting something is wrong - and today will go a long way to answering whether it is.

For Chelsea, it's been a mixed season so far. The lost last time out in the league, but did win in midweek.

I think anything that doesn't involve a red card for the Blues today will be a success...

Anyway, no time to natter - team news is in!
