    Nineteen-time Premier League champions, Liverpool, will welcome Chelsea to Anfield on Sunday, in the most anticipated fixture of the matchday eight. The Reds go into the match top of the table with 18 points from their first seven matches, while Chelsea sit fourth in the table.

    Arne Slot has enjoyed an impressive start to his managerial career at Liverpool, with his only blip being a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest in September. The Blues have also been impressive under their new manager, Enzo Maresca, amassing 14 points from a possible 21.

    Chelsea suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat in the corresponding fixture last season and also lost the Carabao Cup Final to Liverpool at Wembley. The Blues are also winless in their last nine matches against Liverpool.

    Providing the team update at his press conference on Friday, Slot said: “Alisson Becker is not with us for the upcoming weeks that’s clear. But we now have quite some issues with players coming back from their national teams and we can only judge that perfectly from today as it’s the first day they are all in.

    “So let’s see after the session where everybody is. Alexis Mac Allister missed one game and played the second. Kostas Tsimikas missed the first game with England, and Wataru Endo was sick. So I can name them all. We’ve got a few issues going on but let’s wait and see where we are after today.”
