Three down, one to go – and the final Premier League match of the day is the headline act.

Chelsea v Liverpool kicks off at 17:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Alexander Isak starts for Liverpool this evening, with Hugo Ekitike only among the substitutes.

There had been an injury scare surrounding Ekitike in midweek, although the striker himself suggested it was cramp.

Florian Wirtz, like Ekitike, drops out of the Liverpool side after the loss in Galatasaray.

In comes Conor Bradley, which means that Dominik Szoboszlai switches from right-back to his usual advanced central midfield role for tonight’s game.

And back after his midweek rest is Mohamed Salah, who ousts Jeremie Frimpong on the right wing.

Alexis Mac Allister also replaces Curtis Jones in the middle of the park, while Giorgi Mamardashvili deputises for the injured Alisson.

As for Chelsea, it’s the expected centre-half partnership of Josh Acheampong and Benoit Badiashile amid injuries and suspensions elsewhere.

Acheampong is in for the banned Trevoh Chalobah.

Joao Pedro and Reece James, both handed breathers against Benfica, are the two other changes from Tuesday night.

Facundo Buonanotte drops to the bench, while Tyrique George is not in the squad at all.

Alejandro Garnacho gets his first Premier League start for Chelsea, too, having impressed in midweek.

LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Acheampong, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, James, Neto, Fernandez, Garnacho, Pedro.

Subs: Jorgensen, Slonina, Hato, Emenalo, Lavia, Buonanotte, Gittens, Estevao, Guiu.

Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili, Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Salah, Isak, Gakpo.

Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Robertson, Frimpong, Jones, Ekitike, Chiesa, Wirtz.

    6 months, 11 days ago

    Casual friend has Semenyo TC, Timber, Kudus, Caicedo and still has Isak, Haaland, Enzo and Guehi potential returns to come in…

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

  25. keefy59

    Caicedo/Anthony/Enzo
    All in the current team of the season but all under 15% ownership .

  26. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 11 days ago

    Bruno will be 5m and Caicedo 9m next season

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 11 days ago

      They need to remove defcons

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 11 days ago

        Caicedo has scored more than Bruno....even without defcons Caicedo has been a much better asset

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 11 days ago

          That’s true, they still need to remove them though

  27. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 11 days ago

    That’s the kind of player you spend 100 million on

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 11 days ago

      At this point last season Caicedo was considered a flop

  28. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 11 days ago

    Arsenal up to 50% implied title odds on Betfair exchange
    Liverpool now 32%

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 11 days ago

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 11 days ago

      Arsenal next 4 fixtures are favorable, should get 10 or 12 points to put us in a strong position before a slightly trickier November run against Chelsea and Spurs with Bayern Munich in the UCL in between
