Liverpool vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups

Chelsea’s trip to Liverpool was already significant enough, but if Spurs (4th) and Manchester United (2nd) manage to both drop points today as they currently looking like doing, the trip becomes even more significant, with a chance to gain a spot and improve our top-four prospects.

(UPDATE: United have taken the lead on a deflected shot after a foul and a corner that shouldn’t have been in the first place. Drats!)

Liverpool (5th) will of course be thinking the same.

Here we go.

Mignolet | Moreno, Matip, Klavan, Gomez | Milner, Henderson, Coutinho | Salah, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain
