Team news - Bajcetic starts for Liverpool; Mudryk on Chelsea bench
Liverpool v Chelsea (12:30 GMT)
In his 1,000th game as a manager, Jurgen Klopp makes three changes to the Liverpool side that beat Wolves in the FA Cup on Tuesday, with 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic keeping his place in midfield.
Alisson, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah come into the starting line-up while the fit-again Darwin Nunez is on the bench after missing the last two games.
James Milner starts at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold named among the substitutes.

Chelsea make just one alteration to the XI that started their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend with Marc Cucurella coming in for Carney Chukwuemeka.
£89m signing Mykhailo Mudryk will have to wait to make his debut. The 22-year-old winger is on the bench.
Mateo Kovacic is not included in the squad.
Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Badiashile, Hall, Cucurella, Jorginho, Gallagher, Mount, Ziyech, Havertz.
