As newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool prepare for Sunday’s trip to Chelsea, the match at Stamford Bridge carries contrasting stakes.

For the Reds, the fixture marks a celebratory procession after securing their 20th title with a 5-1 demolition of Tottenham.

For Chelsea, however, the game is pivotal in their chase for Champions League qualification, sitting fifth with 60 points and a narrow margin over other European hopefuls.

Sunday’s clash kicks off at 4:30 PM BST at Stamford Bridge and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK.

Enzo Maresca’s side has collected 17 points from their last eight Premier League fixtures (W5 D2 L1), a significant improvement after gathering just nine points from their previous ten matches.

The Blues demonstrated their European credentials with a convincing 4-1 victory over Djurgården in Thursday’s UEFA Conference League semi-final first leg.

Liverpool will likely field a strong lineup despite having secured the title, though Slot mentioned that some players who haven’t featured regularly may get opportunities in the final four matches.

Joe Gomez is ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Conor Bradley remains doubtful.

In terms of Chelsea injury news, the home side have a few concerns heading into the clash

Robert Sánchez:

Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper sustained a leg injury during the 1-0 win over Everton, forcing him to miss the midweek European fixture.

Deputy Filip Jørgensen impressed against Djurgarden

Christopher Nkunku

The French forward suffered a minor muscle strain in training ahead of the Djurgarden clash, sidelining him for the trip to Sweden.

Though deemed a “small problem,” his absence deprives Chelsea of a creative outlet.

Despite returning to training, Chelsea are prioritizing his long-term development over a rushed comeback.

Guiu has six Conference League goals.

Aaron Anselmino

The £15.6 million January signing from Boca Juniors has yet to debut due to a pre-existing hamstring issue and subsequent muscle strains.

Currently training individually, the 20-year-old center-back is likely headed for a loan to Strasbourg this summer to gain European experience.

Maresca said of the injury situation:

“At the moment, just Marc Guiu and (Aaron) Anselmino are out”

“Christo Nkunku has a small problem.”

“When we get back to Cobham, the medical staff will tell me how he is and what his status is?
