Chelsea will entertain Liverpool at Stamford Bridge this Tuesday night as they hope to secure a win at home in the Premier League. The Blues suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss at the hands of Aston Villa recently, so they will be eager to put in a much-improved performance in midweek.
The West London club could set themselves up in a 3-4-2-1 formation but will make one change for this Premier League contest. We can expect Trevoh Chalobah to play from the start while Ruben Loftus-Cheek drops to the bench.
3-4-2-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Liverpool
Defence
Kepa Arrizabalaga will function in goal for the London outfit after conceding a couple of goals in his last league appearance. Chelsea will once again opt for a back three of Trevoh Chalobah, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella as they try to keep the Liverpool attackers quiet during the game.
Benoit Badiashile will offer cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.
Midfield
Mateo Kovacic and Enzo Fernandez will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on winning the 50-50 duels at the centre of the park and engineer some promising chances in the final third.
Ben Chilwell will get a chance to impress on the left flank while Reece James hopes to give a good account of himself as the right-sided wide player.
Joao Felix and Kai Havertz will get the freedom to operate as the free-flowing attacking midfielders for Chelsea in the opposition half. Both of them need to find a way to threaten the Liverpool goal in midweek.
N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Noni Madueke will all have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Mykhailo Mudryk will get the nod to lead the line for the West London giants in the final third. He has to figure out a way to put his pace to good use in the Liverpool half and find the back of the net this Tuesday night.
Christian Pulisic will be available for selection on the bench as he awaits his chance to shine in the final quarter of the game if the Blues are in need of a goal by then.
