Sorry to distract all y'all for a minute from this incredibly exciting boring Transfer Deadline Day, but we have this small worryingly troublesome and huge issue of having to play Liverpool at Anfield tonight.
Liverpool are in terrible form. Chelsea are in pretty good form. It's anyone's game, really.

Willian the surprise starter over Pedro, otherwise just as expected from Chelsea. No Nathan Aké on the bench, which could play into the breaking transfer rumors, or Conte could've just preferred Terry for this big occasion.
Liverpool do get Clyne back, but Mané only makes the bench.
