Following their midweek Champions League tie with Lille, Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of both Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech who came off with knocks and are now fighting a race against time to be fit for Sunday’s clash.
However, Reece James (hamstring) is in line to finally return to the squad after a lengthy spell out, while Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) could also be in contention following his recent absence, but Ben Chilwell (knee) remains out.
As for the Reds, Jurgen Klopp will have the majority of his squad available and has no fresh injury concerns from the midweek victory over Leeds United.
