Alexander Isak starts for Liverpool at Chelsea as Mohamed Salah returns and Florian Wirtz drops to the bench. Giorgi Mamardashvili starts in the place of the hamstrung Alisson Becker and Conor Bradley returns at right-back.

Federico Chiesa returns to the squad having missed Tuesday night's defeat at Galatasaray with what Slot described as a minor niggle. Freddie Woodman is named on the bench with Alisson sidelined and Slot is also able to select Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo and vice captain Andy Robertson alongside Joe Gomez.

Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Isak. Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Wirtz, Chiesa, Jones, Ekitike, Robertson, Frimpong.
