Liverpool are set to make major changes to their starting XI ahead of their Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to shake up his squad in preparation for the Reds’ third round Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea.
The Anfield club have enjoyed a perfect start to the Premier League season with six wins from six matches and just two goals conceded.However, Klopp will be tempted to rotate his players for domestic cup competitions in order to keep the squad fresh and avoid injuries to key men.
The headline trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are all likely to make way against the Blues, offering a chance for other members of the team to make an impression.
Xherdan Shaqiri should start out wide after playing just 45 minutes in the win over Southampton.
The Swiss international could be joined by Divock Origi on the other flank as the Belgian forward looks targets his first appearance of the season.
Daniel Sturridge is set to lead the line in place of Firmino, having deputised to good effect in the Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain last week.
Klopp has several options available in midfield and could give Fabinho his full debut following a summer move from Monaco.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel Clyne could come in for Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back while Alberto Moreno may replace Andrew Robertson on the other flank.
Simon Mignolet is expected to be given the nod in goal while Virgil van Dijk is recovering from a knock, Dejan Lovren is a doubt and both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana are sidelined.
