Sunday’s Premier League action continues at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Liverpool.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

The big team news is that Romelu Lukaku is not in Thomas Tuchel’s matchday squad.

The 28-year-old has scored in his last two Premier League appearances but found himself at the centre of a controversy this week after an interview was broadcast in which he said he was unhappy with his role at Stamford Bridge.

As a result, the Belgian forward has been dropped, with Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic lining up in the attacking positions.

At the back, Andreas Christensen and Reece James are out, while Jorginho and Callum Hudson-Odoi are substitutes, with N’Golo Kante and Kai Havertz amongst those coming in.

For Liverpool, they make three changes from Gameweek 20, as Alisson, Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino miss out after suspected positive Covid tests, in addition to manager Jurgen Klopp who won’t be at today’s game.

That means Caoimhin Kelleher starts in goal, with Ibrahima Konate and James Milner also featuring in the starting XI.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Chalobah, Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kante, Kovacic, Alonso, Mount, Havertz, Pulisic

Subs: Kepa, Jorginho, Saul, Barkley, Hudson-Odoi, Ziyech, Sarr, Vale, Hall

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Salah, Mane, Jota

Subs: Adrian, Keita, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Beck, Williams, Morton, Pitaluga

Yo! are we any clearer on who may have a DGW in 22 at all?

Has anyone made an updated Ben Crellin spread sheet at all?

TIA

  Unfortunately Ben was way off on all his predictions for GW21, and has no real clue for GW22 either. Just his best guess.

Had Mane got a Red Card today, would he have served a 3 game ban on returning from AFCON or would the ban have been "served" while he was away with his country? Anyone know?

  Would’ve been served while away.

    Cheers.....an anomaly though. Although elbowing someone in the last minute would have been cleverer that doing it after 10 seconds.

      Absolutely. I’m actually surprised he was booked for it.
      
      Either it is a red card, or nothing at all. Not sure where the in between can be between accidental or dangerous play.
      
      Thought was a red card personally. Had he done that in the 80th minute, it’s a certain red card.

    Why would you think it would be served whilst he’s away
    Only domestic league/cups.
    
    That’s why champions league cards are different too

      No, as in while he is away playing internationally his team are playing and thus he serves his suspension for the league games. Not like he has to serve the ban once he comes back. He serves it while he is away playing internationally.

        That’s not how it works. He has to first be available for selection in the games he misses not just the club playing. But it doesn’t count for international games

  Cards at club/domestic level are completely separate from international level

    Since he is on international duty and not at the club, the suspension would not be served while he is away
