Winning games is nice! Especially at Anfield and especially against Burnley.

Elliott was excellent. Just think Chelsea requires experience/steel. If Klopp picks Elliott again I won't complain - he's boss!
If Fabinho is emotionally fit/ready and isn't in Brazil I'd have him in for Keita as well. Steel.
Early doors but if we could beat Chelsea, it would be a great statement.

Keita was awful against Burnley .Good only knows, actually we all know he'd be awful against Chelsea .
Not that I'm aware, just wouldn't rule it out, assuming his Dad passed away there. Haven't exactly researched the subject, would feel terribly "snoopy" if I did, but if the restrictions have loosened at all over there (and again, pure ignorance on my part, I have no idea) he may have wanted to go Home.
Bereavement hits people in different ways. He might need a month or so away from the game or he might feel a personal obligation to "do his Dad proud" by getting wired into training/football, partly to take his mind off things. We'll see him on the pitch again when we do and he is at the right club in terms of getting the sort of support that fans can provide thankfully.

If Fabinho isn't in the right head space then I'd put Hendo in the middle and start with Elliott. I thought Keita was poor against Burnley
Yet apparently he had the most tackles (with 6) and the most pressing actions (despite coming off with about 17 minutes left) and a 96% pass completion rate. A mate sent those stats on (I'm guessing Anfield Index) so it will be interesting to see if there's the likes of a touch compilation on YouTube in the coming couple of days.
Perhaps those stats are way off, or perhaps because he is capable of dribbling and quick one-two actions, our expectation of him is skewing what we're seeing? I thought he played "fine" on the eye-test, but wasn't salivating either. With Elliott seemingly being charged with creative tasks in midfield, perhaps Keita was following "keep it simple" instructions and essentially doing a Gini impersonation (in terms of role) and thus looked rather underwhelming given we expect attacking flair from Naby?
I'll definitely be watching him more closely for his next few starts as I'm keen to see how Klopp will utilise him this season, when fit.
He was better than usual but that's not hard is it.
Regardless if him doing OK we should still be getting more from him. We were light in midfield, Elliott had an excellent game but against Chelsea I dare say we won't be having just one of our best in there. He needs 2, Hendo and Fab plus another I hope.
He was decent apart from that horrid pass he gave away in our box far too casual.
I think Sid is right he did win a few challenges like he did at Norwich....the first half though I thought we got abit bullied in midfield second half was different.
Still id be worried if he played against Chelsea still struggle to get Madrid away out my head !
