How Liverpool could line up against Chelsea

Ahead of Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round clash between Liverpool and Chelsea, Sports Mole looks at how the Merseyside giants could line up at Anfield.

Liverpool head into Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round clash with Chelsea looking to maintain their winning streak this season.

The Merseyside giants currently sit top of the Premier League table with victories being recorded against West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton.

Jurgen Klopp has also witnessed his side register a thrilling 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their opening fixture in the Champions League.

However, the German is expected to make mass changes to his starting lineup for the match in midweek, and here Sports Mole looks at how his side could line up at Anfield.



Possible LIV XI vs. CHE

Out: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee), Divock Origi (ankle)
Doubtful: Adam Lallana (groin), Virgil van Dijk (rib)

Klopp has confirmed that goalkeeper Simon Mignolet will make his first start of the season between the sticks, while also suggesting that Dejan Lovren has recovered from injury in time for Wednesday's match.

Dominic Solanke is also available again after concussion, but Adam Lallana and Divock Origi are unlikely to be risked after groin and ankle problems.

Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno should come in at full-back, with Fabinho being handed his first start in midfield after completing a move from Monaco during the summer.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge are expected to feature in attack, as could youngster Curtis Jones having made a positive impression during the club's pre-season friendlies.
