Welcome to the penultimate match of the 2015-16 season, the penultimate match of Guus Hiddink's interim tenure, the penultimate match before we can relax and have some summer fun in the sun. Or something.
Liverpool are firing on most cylinders, Chelsea can barely get the engine started. This could get ugly.

We said we'd riot if Mikel starts at center back, but check out the youth on the bench! Three ready for debuts! Plus Traore gets the start over Pato, which is great.
(Meanwhile, Thibaut Courtois is "feeling unwell" and thus misses out. Getting sick on your own birthday is fairly fitting for this Chelsea season, to be fair.)
COME ON, CHELSEA!
