Confirmed Chelsea XI vs Liverpool<\/h2>\n

McFarlane will be hoping to see his side hit some sort of form ahead of next weekend\u2019s FA Cup final against Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Chelsea got the better of Liverpool earlier this season when Enzo Maresca was in charge, winning 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

All eyes will likely be on Joao Pedro to provide the goods in front of goal. No Premier League player has more non-penalty goals this season than the Brazil international.<\/p>\n
