Everything you need to know about tonight’s clash at Anfield

Liverpool take on Chelsea this weekend in the Premier League, but they first travel to Merseyside this evening to face them in the Carabao Cup third round.

With the league fixture set to take priority, Jurgen Klopp could rest a number of his key players for Saturday’s main event.

Mohamed Salah, formerly of Chelsea, is likely to rested, as is Virgil Van Dijk, who was forced off during the weekend’s win over Southampton with a minor injury. The duo’s absence make way for Xherdan Shaqiri and Joel Matip to retain their places in the starting XI.

Daniel Sturridge, who netted the opener in their 3-2 Champions League win over PSG last week, should the Reds attack, while summer signing Fabinho is favoured to make his first Liverpool start alongside James Milner and Naby Keita in midfield.

Simon Mignolet could come in for Alisson between the sticks.

Injury news

Dejan Lovren remains a doubt having only returned to training last week following a back injury, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is still sidelined.

Suspensions

Liverpool have no suspensions.
