Antonio Conte is trying a few new things tonight, as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will undoubtedly be the toughest opposition for him yet this season.
John Terry, who injured his ankle in Chelsea’s last game away at Swansea, will be sidelined making room for David Luiz to return to the Blues’s back-four for his second debut for the club.
Liverpool have no other injury worries than Robert Firmino, who misses the game due to a minor groin strain.
However, here are the full team line-ups:
Chelsea:
Chelsea (4-1-4-1): Courtois; Ivanovic (c), Cahill, David Luiz, Azpi; Kante; Willian, Oscar, Matic, Hazard; Costa. https://t.co/KUhoBXvWmu
