Liverpool face Chelsea on Saturday afternoon and will be without 8 key players as Arne Slot rotates his side.

Liverpool can seal a top-five finish in the Premier League table when they host Chelsea in Saturday's early kick off at Anfield in what should be one of the biggest clashes of the weekend.

A draw could also be enough for The Reds depending on how Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton get on as they try and salvage something from what has been a very tough campaign. 

Slot’s saw their three-match winning run in the Premier League come to an end last weekend, as they lost 3-2 at Old Trafford to Manchester United thanks to a late goal from Kobbie Mainoo. 

They now face a Chelsea team who have now lost each of their previous six Premier League fixtures, a run that has seen them nosedive down to ninth position in the table. 

Ahead of the game, Liverpool are without Conor Bradley (Knee Injury), Giovanni Leoni (Knee Injury) and Wataru Endo (Ankle/Foot Injury) due to long term injuries which will see them return next season. 

Goalkeepers Alisson Becker (Other) and Giorgi Mamardashvili (Knee Injury) are still both injured as Freddie Woodman prepares to go between the sticks once more in what is a dodgy backline for the Premier League champions. 

The team does not improve in attack however as Mohamed Salah (Thigh Injury), Hugo Ekitike (Calf/Shin/Heel Injury) and Alexander Isak (Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury) are all ruled out for the game. 

Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai will lead the attack for Liverpool in what is a worry for supporters after a poor performance against United last weekend.
