Chelsea travel to Anfield to face top of the table Liverpool

Fourth placed Chelsea travel to top of the table Liverpool on Sunday.

In a boost to Enzo Maresca’s side, Reece James is edging closer to a return to action though this clash may come too soon for the England defender.

They have suffered just one defeat this season to current Premier League champions Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Arne Slot’s side went into the international break top of the league, one point ahead of Manchester City.

Goalkeeper Alisson remains side-lined due to a hamstring injury which he picked up in their win over Crystal Palace.

Though Federico Chiesa did not go on international duty with Italy, it is thought he will be fit for the game against Chelsea while Alexis Mac Allister who picked up a knock against Palace is also set to return for the Reds.

Before these two giants of English football face off, Manchester City will travel to bottom of the league Wolverhampton Wanderers who have just one point from seven games.
