Liverpool are hopeful Alexander Isak and Alisson Becker will be available for selection after injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Alisson is not thought to be too far away from a comeback, but the Chelsea game may come too soon for Mohamed Salah who is likely to play at least one more game before bidding farewell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are all long-term injury casualties and Giorgi Mamardashvili remains sidelined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Alexander Isak is expected to return from injury for Liverpool<\/p>\n

Chelsea are sweating on the fitness of Robert Sanchez after he was substituted in the second half against Forest with a bandaged head following a nasty collision with Morgan Gibbs-White.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Liverpool vs Chelsea prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Form suggests this should be a routine Liverpool win. Arne Slot\u2019s side had put together a three-game winning run prior to defeat at Old Trafford, while Chelsea have lost their last six in the league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
FA Cup wins aside, the Blues have looked poor in recent weeks and we can\u2019t see that changing here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
