Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Arne Slot makes three changes to his starting XI, with Caoimhin Kelleher, Andrew Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai coming in for Alisson Becker, Kostas Tsimikas and Alexis Mac Allister.

It means Cody Gakpo is preferred in attack to Luis Diaz.

As for Chelsea, Reece James is a surprise starter having recovered from injury.

It suggests Malo Gusto will switch over to left-back, with Marc Cucurella suspended.

Elsewhere, Tosin Adarabioyo replaces Wesley Fofana, who is also banned, while Romeo Lavia starts in central midfield over Enzo Fernandez.

LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Jota

Subs: Jaros, Gomez, Endo, Diaz, Darwin, Mac Allister, Tsimikas, Quansah, Morton

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, James, Tosin, Colwill, Gusto, Lavia, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson

Subs: Bettinelli, Disasi, Badiashile, Neto, Enzo, Felix, Nkunku, Dewsbury-Hall, Veiga

  I am hoping Chelsea get nervous and do a stupid tackle in their own area. Another pen to the Egyptian King

Salah surpassing Mr Humble today on fpl points, not bad for an old man.

Getting the timing right of the premium midfielder's is going to become even more of a ballache soon. I'm really not a fan of the hokey cokey FPL playstyle. Having a midfield 5 of Salah, Son, Saka, Palmer & Rogers is gonna be very tempting when City's fixtures turn end of November.

  Hate it as well. I like the set and forget strategy but may have to look at the fixture runs and base the premiums of that

So if an outfield player gets a touch on the ball but also takes the player out in the follow throigh, they get panalised and concede a free kick. But the same rule doesnt apply to a keeper doing the same? Didn't realise keepers had license to take out players providing they get a minor touch on the ball?
