Liverpool vs Chelsea: Combined eleven
CB – Joel Matip
Since arriving at Liverpool, Joel Matip has been on fire. This tall defender performed well against both Tottenham and Leicester, keeping their attackers quiet and being reliable at the back.
He’s great on the ball, good at attacking/defending set pieces, and he makes positive runs forward when it’s safe to do so. His distribution is quality, and I think he’ll establish himself as one of the better centre-backs in the Premier League this season.
