Latest Chelsea vs Liverpool team news
Joao Pedro will not be suspended in the Premier League, but Trevoh Chalobah will be absent due to a suspension after receiving a red card in the defeat against Brighton.
Chelsea's list of absentees remains long: Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended), Dario Essugo (thigh), Tosin Adarabioyo (calf), Cole Palmer (groin), Liam Delap (thigh), and Levi Colwill (knee). Additionally, Wesley Fofana (head injury) and Andrey Santos (collision) will require medical checks before the match.
If Fofana is not yet fit to return from his concussion, Josh Acheampong could be used as a backup option at centre-back, partnering with Jorrel Hato in case Benoit Badiashile is unavailable for two consecutive matches.
Liverpool haven't had many injuries since the start of the season, but the defeat against Galatasaray left them without their number one goalkeeper Alisson Becker due to a groin injury. Manager Slot confirmed Alisson will miss the crucial match against Chelsea.
Additionally, Hugo Ekitike has also suffered a thigh injury, but there is still hope he will recover in time. Alexander Isak is almost certain to start and aims to score at Stamford Bridge for the third consecutive year.
One piece of good news for Liverpool is that Federico Chiesa could return from a minor injury, while Giovanni Leoni (anterior cruciate ligament) remains sidelined for the long term.
Latest predicted lineups for Chelsea vs Liverpool

Latest Chelsea vs Liverpool football match prediction
Once considered a "dark horse" in the 2025-26 Premier League title race, Chelsea's inconsistent form has led many to question the initial predictions. Under Enzo Maresca, "The Blues" have only managed two wins, two draws, and two defeats.
Last weekend, Chelsea's lack of discipline continued to cost them dearly. Against Brighton, they dominated until Trevoh Chalobah received a red card, allowing their opponents to turn the tide. Brighton then went on to win 3-1 thanks to a brace from Danny Welbeck.
After earning 7 points in the first 3 rounds, Chelsea only managed to gain 1 point in the last 3 rounds. They dropped to 8th place, 7 points behind the leaders, and continue to face a squad crisis. Participation in the Club World Cup at the beginning of the season may be one of the reasons.
Since the start of the 2024-25 season, Chelsea have received 118 cards (114 yellow, 4 red) – more than any other team in the Premier League. Tuesday's Champions League match against Benfica also saw Joao Pedro sent off. However, this late red card did not affect the 1-0 victory against Mourinho's side.
Chelsea are now aiming to avoid a run of three consecutive defeats in the Premier League – something that hasn't happened since spring 2023, when Frank Lampard was in charge.
Similar to Chelsea, Liverpool are also facing the risk of losing three consecutive matches (in all competitions). The reigning champions have just had a terrible week, a far cry from the dominant performance they displayed when they won the title last season.
Last weekend, Eddie Nketiah's late goal helped Crystal Palace defeat Liverpool, ending their winning streak in the Premier League. This was a defeat that many Liverpool fans had anticipated, as all five of their early season wins had been unconvincing.
Midweek, Arne Slot's team continued to disappoint, losing 0-1 to Galatasaray in the Champions League, with the only goal coming from a penalty by Victor Osimhen. This marks the second consecutive defeat under Slot's management.
If Arsenal beat West Ham in Saturday's 3 pm match, Liverpool will lose their top spot in the table before playing at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool's away form against Chelsea isn't much better either: they haven't won in their last four Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge. The 1-3 defeat last season can be overlooked, as they had already secured the title and were playing at a more cautious pace.
