Chelsea are facing Liverpool this afternoon at Anfield in their Sunday Premier League match in front of the cameras. It presents a tough fixture for both sides.
Liverpool are currently leading the league and will be spurred on by Arsenal being beaten by Bournemouth in their first league game back after the international break yesterday.
Please do join my own personal Chelsea Substack community where I put out five daily articles, a weekly podcast, and a number of exclusive and sourced insides stories from Cobham and transfer news! But Chelsea will also be encouraged by this result and will see it as a chance to catch up with their London rivals and capitalise on their defeat this weekend.
Both sides will find it as a tough fixture to play today, and really, Chelsea are the toughest fixture that Liverpool have faced so far this season. Chelsea played and lost against Manchester City on the opening day of the new season, but since then they have not faced a 'top' side either. So today is likely to tell us a lot about both teams and both new managers, with a very intriguing match up on the cards.
Chelsea's predicted Xl 
The Blues will be without Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana, who are both suspended, meaning Maresca has some decisions to make at the back.
Renato Veiga is the natural replacement for Cucurella, and you cannot see Ben Chilwell getting a look in there so it will surely be Veiga.
But the decision at right centre back is perhaps not as straight forward, with both Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo available there.
Osman believes it will be Tosin who gets the nod over Disasi, and Veiga will start too. If Tosin does start as expected, then this will be his first Premier League start in a Chelsea shirt.
Predicted Chelsea Team:
Sanchez; Gusto, Colwill, Veiga, Aderabioyo; Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer; Jackson, Sancho, Madueke.
