Latest Chelsea vs Liverpool squad information
Joao Pedro will not be suspended for the Premier League, but Trevoh Chalobah will miss out through suspension following his red card in the defeat to Brighton.
Chelsea's absentee list is still very long: Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspension), Dario Essugo (thigh), Tosin Adarabioyo (calf), Cole Palmer (groin), Liam Delap (thigh) and Levi Colwill (knee). In addition, Wesley Fofana (head injury) and Andrey Santos (contact) will have medical tests before the match.
If Fofana is not fit to return from concussion, Josh Acheampong could be used as a backup option at centre-back, partnering Jorrel Hato in case Benoit Badiashile is unable to play for two consecutive matches.
Liverpool have not had many injuries this season, but the defeat to Galatasaray saw them lose first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker to a groin injury. Manager Slot confirmed that Alisson will miss the big game against Chelsea.
Hugo Ekitike is also out with a thigh injury, but is expected to recover in time. Alexander Isak is almost certain to start and will be aiming to score at Stamford Bridge for the third consecutive year.
One positive news for Liverpool is that Federico Chiesa could return from a minor injury, while Giovanni Leoni (cruciate ligament) remains a long-term absentee.
Latest expected lineup for Chelsea vs Liverpool

Latest Chelsea vs Liverpool football commentary
Once considered a “dark horse” for the 2025-26 Premier League title race, Chelsea’s inconsistent form has made many people start to doubt the initial prediction. Under Enzo Maresca, “The Blues” have only had 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses.
Chelsea's lack of discipline continued to cost them last weekend. Against Brighton, they were in control until Trevoh Chalobah was sent off, which turned things around for their opponents. Brighton went on to win 3-1 thanks to a double from Danny Welbeck.
After collecting 7 points in the first 3 rounds, Chelsea only earned 1 more point in the last 3 rounds. They fell to 8th place, 7 points behind the top and continued to have a force crisis. Participating in the Club World Cup at the beginning of the season could be one of the reasons.
Since the start of the 2024-25 season, Chelsea have received 118 bookings (114 yellow, 4 red) – more than any other Premier League team. Tuesday’s Champions League game against Benfica also saw Joao Pedro sent off, but the late red card did not affect the 1-0 win over Mourinho’s side.
Chelsea now aim to avoid a run of three consecutive Premier League defeats – something that has not happened since spring 2023, when Frank Lampard was in charge.
Similar to Chelsea, Liverpool are also facing the risk of losing 3 consecutive matches (in all competitions). The defending champion has just experienced a terrible week, far from the overwhelming image when they won the title last season.
Last weekend, Eddie Nketiah's late goal helped Crystal Palace beat Liverpool, ending their unbeaten run in the Premier League. It was a defeat that many Liverpool fans had anticipated, as all five early wins of the season had been unconvincing.
Midweek, Arne Slot's team continued to disappoint when they lost 0-1 to Galatasaray in the Champions League, with the only goal coming from a penalty by Victor Osimhen. This is the second time under Slot that Liverpool have suffered two consecutive defeats.
If Arsenal beat West Ham in Saturday's 3pm game, Liverpool will lose top spot before they take to Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool’s away form against Chelsea is also poor: they have failed to win any of their last four Premier League games at Stamford Bridge. Last season’s 3-1 defeat can be forgiven, as they were already champions and played sparingly.
