The stage is set for the Premier League match of the weekend as Liverpool hosts Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
The kick-off for the Premier League match is at 12.30 pm, Nigerian time.
Both teams head to the game after losing their last matches in the Premier League.
Liverpool lost 3-2 against Manchester United, while Chelsea lost 3-1 against Nottingham Forest.
The Reds currently sit in fourth position on the Premier League table with 58 points from 35 games, while the Blues occupy the 9th position with 48 points from 35 games
However, if Chelsea loses to Liverpool, they risk dropping to 12th place on the Premier League table, effectively killing their hopes of qualifying for the top-five Champions League spots.
Conversely, a win for Liverpool would secure their spot in the Champions League, allowing them to consolidate a top-four finish as they edge toward the end of the season.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot will welcome back Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz in his squad as both players are in contention to play.
Liverpool’s third goalkeeper, Freddie Woodman, is expected to play as Alison Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili are both injured.
Mohamad Salah remains out as well. Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, and Wataru Endo are also out due to various long-term injuries.
Chelsea, on the other hand, will be without Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho as both players are still dealing with knocks.
Jamie Gittens and Estêvão are both dealing with longer-term injuries.
