Match Thread : Chelsea v Liverpool

[miller0863]

Six changes for tonight, whether that will make any difference whatsoever time will tell.

Though looking at who’s come in, I very much doubt it.
Harvey Elliott out of the match day squad for the first time this league campaign, Virgil also missing.

Alisson

Gomez
Matip
Konate
Tsimikas

Henderson
Fabinho
Jones

Jota
Firmino
Núñez

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Salah, Gakpo, Robertson, Carvalho, Arthur, Phillips, TAA

Salah rested is very very unusual and the final insult to Arthur who will watch Curtis Jones get his first start in Gawd knows how long, from the bench.

I was thinking of the Arthur situation, it is known he won't be here next year. Curtis will, so makes sense to give Curtis the game time to prove himself.

Jurgen pulling rank by the looks of it.

What an unexpected team selection.
Contrary to some opinions on here I think Gakpo has been playing really well, don't think he should be benched.
Curtis Jones has one good game every ten, let's hope it will be that good game tonight.
And Trent.. I mean something has to be done about Trent, it just can't go on. Maybe next year a radical approach, bring in Gvardiol, play three at the back and have Trent and Robbo as wing backs. Doesn't Robbo play that system with Tierney for Scotland.?

But late in the season? I would have expected salah to play. That's the big shock for me. But maybe too many games in a short space of time. He needs a rest. Same with robertson. They both had internationals recently.

Kante always makes it back for our game.

Enzo the great to kill our midfield?

[Martyboy]

Watching in hope rather than expectation....Chelski have been poor this season,my money's on us making them look like title challengers....

[Steveo]

We can’t be worse than we were at Palace - can we? That will take some doing, problem is Chelsea are not Palace.

[Insidious]

That is an absolutely fascinating line-up.

Will make the match somewhat interesting at least.
