Even though this match is only the 3rd game of the new season, it will allow both teams to assess where they are and whether or not they can compete for the title.

Both teams have started the season with two wins out of two, five goals scored and none conceded. Our likely rivals from Manchester have both dropped points already this season. A win today will be huge to show we can still compete this season without spending big money.

Paul has wrote a fantastic preview piece which you can read here: https://liverpoolfchqblog.wordpress.com/2021/08/27/liverpool-chelsea-preview/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Prediction: Liverpool 2 - 1 Chelsea. Evening game with a roaring Anfield. We can beat Chelsea if we perform to our best and I expect nothing less from this group of players.

Onto the Starting Line Ups:

Paul, Joe and I have all selected the same line up. Robertson and Fabinho return to the team in place of Tsimikas and Elliott, who both performed excellently last time out against Burnley.

Paul says: 'A massive game, against a Chelsea side not to be underestimated. We need a win. We deserve a win. Up the Reds.'

Joe says: 'I think Paul is spot on.'

Christian says: 'Liverpool face the toughest of teams when we play Chelsea. They have so many keys to open up a team thats why the core with Alisson, Matip, VVD and Fabinho is more important than ever. When those four play LFC are safe, change one and we are in trouble… To go for the same team would make me boring so I will stick to Tsimikas who has been fantastic and Robbo now without form will be a shitty game to start. What a game this is and what a Champions League draw, the amount of games to look forward to will help against the boring covid thats for sure… Klopp his team and Anfield will be back for real starting from today 👊🏻 COYR.'

Those are our line up predictions guys. Let us know what you think and enjoy the game.

Come on Redmen! Allez, Allez, Allez!!
