Liverpool vs Chelsea: Suspensions threaten Blues against in form Reds ahead of weekend clash

Liverpool will welcome Chelsea to Anfield this Sunday for a thrilling Premier League clash.

The Reds are currently enjoying life at the top of the table under new manager Arne Slot, having won all but one of their league games this season.

However, they face a challenging period with tough fixtures ahead.

Chelsea, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, are unbeaten since their opening loss to Manchester City.

The Blues have trimmed their squad and now possess a potent attacking force, though their defense remains a concern.

Liverpool’s defense, led by Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté, boasts the best record in the league, conceding just two goals.

The coming encounter is expected to test if they can hold firm against Chelsea’s attacking frontline.

The match kicks off at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 20, at Anfield.

Liverpool will be without goalkeeper Alisson Becker due to a hamstring injury, with Caoimhin Kelleher stepping in.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will miss Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana through suspension, forcing a defensive reshuffle.
