Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Liverpool.

Chelsea will aim to maintain their 100% start to the Premier League season when they make the journey to take on Liverpool on Saturday evening.

The Blues followed up their 3-0 win over Crystal Palace with a resounding 2-0 success at Arsenal over the weekend, with Romelu Lukaku and Reece James among the goals in North London.

Thomas Tuchel's side are already being tipped as genuine title contenders with two wins and two clean sheets to boast from a stellar start to the campaign, but a trip to Anfield will prove to be a true test of their mettle.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek returned a positive coronavirus test before the opening game of the season with Palace. The midfielder should finish his self-isolation period before the trip to Anfield but is unlikely to be considered for selection either way.
