Chelsea head into this fixture with a relatively healthy squad, though they continue to monitor a few minor knocks among key players. Liverpool, meanwhile, will be without a couple of regular starters due to suspension and injury, putting extra pressure on their depth. Both teams are expected to field strong lineups, with tactical battles in midfield and on the wings likely to decide the match.
