Chelsea face a tough trip to Anfield this weekend as they come up against league leaders Liverpool after the international break.
Enzo Maresca’s side have been in great form lately as they are unbeaten since the opening day of the Premier League when they lost 2-0 to Manchester City.
They face a Liverpool side who have won their last six games in all competitions and sit four points ahead of the Blues in the league table.
Chelsea have a relatively fit squad with the club captain Reece James likely to at least make the bench on Sunday in what is a huge boost for the Blues.
Furthermore, England internationals Noni Madueke and Levi Colwill have both been cleared ahead of the game which gives a strong squad for Enzo Maresca to pick from.
Meanwhile, their opponents will be without star goalkeeper Alisson who suffered a hamstring injury which should keep him side-lined until late November which is a big blow for Arne Slot’s team.

Chelsea favoured to lose against the Reds on Sunday
Looking at league position and results so far this season, on paper, Sunday’s game is expected to be a very closely-fought battle at Anfield.
However, Enzo Maresca’s side are the underdogs according to the bookmakers as they face a trip to a hostile Anfield which may have given Liverpool the edge in the odds.
According to Oddschecker, Liverpool are backed to win at 4/6 odds giving them a 60% chance to beat Chelsea. Whereas the Blues are backed at 4/1 and a draw also likely at 7/2.
We predict a 2-2 draw between two teams that have both scored at least 13 goals in seven games in what could be one of the most entertaining games of the Premier League season so far.
