Chelsea’s predicted XI to face Liverpool: A pivotal three points for Tuchel
By Kian Long
Out-of-form midfielder dropped for Chelsea
Callum Hudson-Odoi was the weak link for the Blues in their last match so I don’t think he will get the nod in this one. Instead, Reece James will come in to occupy the left-hand side. On the other side will be Chilwell who played well against United. In these two full-backs will be plenty of energy and dynamism, so Tuchel can rest assured knowing Trent and Robertson won’t have an easy ride of things.
In the central midfield slots there will be no change. N’Golo Kante was excellent against United and Mateo Kovacic is oftentimes a solid shout.
