RW: Mohamed Salah
With the Egypt international cup tied in Europe after his arrival at Stamford Bridge from Swiss champions Basel in the recent January transfer window, the wide man will definitely line up on the right flank against the club who nearly bought him at the turn of the year.
CM: Frank Lampard
The veteran was another Blues player who picked up an untimely booking against Atletico on Tuesday that has now ruled the midfielder out of the return leg at the Bridge next week, so making the Englishman’s inclusion in the team to play Liverpool a formality.
CM: Nemanja Matic
Like with Salah, the Serbia international is also ineligible to play for the west London club in their Uefa Champions League campaign after featuring in the competition for former club Benfica earlier this season, meaning the holding midfielder is set to now line up in front of his back four at Anfield.
LW: Andre Schurrle
Another who only featured briefly in the Calderon on Tuesday, and so expect the clever Germany international to start on the visitors’ left wing against the Premier League leaders on Sunday afternoon.
