Liverpool vs Chelsea: Combined eleven

Liverpool take on Chelsea this Friday, and we’ve decided to put together the strongest eleven using players from both teams

Liverpool take on Chelsea away from home this Friday, and the game is sure to be a good one. Antonio Conte and Jurgen Klopp already faced off during preseason, but this is when it really matters.

The Reds have been in good form, following a nervy start to the season. They beat Arsenal away from home, but then lost embarrassingly to Burnley. Their good form returned with a draw against Tottenham Hotspur – a game which Liverpool should have won. This weekend, Liverpool looked the best they have all season as they demolished the champions Leicester City 4-1.

Chelsea’s start to the season has been slightly stronger in terms of points. The Blues started off with wins against West Ham and Watford, before going on to smash Burnley 3-0. They did however draw against Swansea in their last Premier League game, conceding two goals.

Both of these two sides have strong players, and the match will surely be a tough-fought game. It’s second place taking on sixth place, with only three points separating the teams. A Liverpool victory will see the Reds rise to meet Chelsea on equal points, whereas a Chelsea win could see Liverpool lingering lower in the table.

As far as predictions go, I think Liverpool are strong enough to win this game. The complications, however, come from our lack of consistency. It’s inevitable that we’ll concede a goal, but unless our players show up we’ll struggle to stop Chelsea running away with the points.

Everything depends on who shows up and how focused the players are. There’s no team better at throwing away games due to a lapse in concentration. Here’s our combined eleven for the match between Liverpool and Chelsea.
