With due respect we defo won’t start with that formation, with Kova at LWB
Is Mount available or not? Will he play?
I have him in my sheet FF team.

Mount trained yesterday, not sure he’s fit to start though, perhaps coming on as a sub

Yes, I am afraid, a recurring groin injury

Yeah it would be..depends on Emerson’s fitness. I imagine if he’s fit he starts in four at the back. If not fit enough yet we start with Alonso three at the back. In my opinion we should go with emerson regardless even as a wingback (if he’s fit) but we’ll see
Is Kante fit to start?
If he's out you have very little chance imo
He’s been a big miss, featured against Wolves in the first half, replaced in the second half after the recurring growing injury that’s kept him off the pitch since the end of last season

He’s been training with the first team for the last a couple of days. Don’t know if Lampard is going to risk him ? He’s been injured for most part of this season due to injury

You couldn't be playing us at a better time with fitness doubts hanging over Kante, Mount, Rudiger and Emerson with Hudson Odoi and James not yet fully match fit.
It would be a big ask for us to get anything with all those fit - without them I don't hold out much hope for today!
I've got a horrible feeling that with all the injury concerns for Chelsea and the fact that they are shipping goals left, right and centre, they're just going to play a blinder today and beat us or get a draw.
You are absolutely correct Firmino,well said sir !
Kepa
Azpi AC Zouma/Tomori Emerson
Kante Jorg Kovacic
Mount Tammy Puli
A bit weary of Azpi against Mane. Kante has to full match fit to negate the threat from the left hand side.
I would be more concerned with that line up, especially with Emerson, Kante and possibly Mount fitness issues
Did you see Kante in the Super Cup?
That wasn't Kante at even half-fit, ran the show.
Sets the tone with his limitless energy and high-octane play. Largely negated Liverpool's threat.
Emerson's is back to fitness, no issues with him.
Mount was fully-training with squad yesterday.
I proposely put Mount on the right to help Azpi. If not Mount, then Pedro.

Yes indeed, Kante was exceptional that day, but not without a consequence. Is it worth risking him just because we badly need him for this game ? Very tough call from Lamps if he’s not 100% match fit.
If Emerson is match fit then he plays.
I know Mount has trained, but didn’t his ankle swell ? I’d be very cautious playing him so soon
I would probably play Pedro instead of Willian, despite his poor performance against Valencia in the midweek.
Playing a back three is very dangerous today. Liverpool's forwards will press the CB's one-to-one and we'll find building from the back extremely difficult. If Emerson's out we'll have no choice, but it's gunna be problematic, we'll be pushed wide constantly, a back 4's definitely the preference against this team.
Whether Frank goes 433 or 4231 (assuming Emerson's fit) will depend how aggressively he wants us to counter press vs. how confident he feels in the defensive players to hold their nerve. Attacking with four against Liverpool's unnecessary, if you do beat the pressing traps three is sufficient to get in behind them as we saw last season - but Frank does like forcing pressure high so......
Should be a fascinating game. Logically you'd have to favor Klopp to win this tactical battle cos we're playing his football (trying too), same way you'd favor Conte vs. a back 5, but the style itself has this element of chaos to it that can triumph against anyone at anytime if it's played properly.
My team would be Chelseamf's if all those players are available, but I have a feeling Frank will play 4231.

I think if Kante is fit we should go with Jorg, Kovacic and Kante in a midfield 3 to try and nullify Liverpool where I feel they are at their weakest and try and cut the supply line to Mane, Firmino and Salah as much as is possible!
Good team. Right formation IMO.
