Liverpool will be looking to earn back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time this season when they travel to Chelsea this evening.

No mean feat of course with Antonio Conte’s side having started the new campaign excellently, the Reds can also take heart from a thumping 4-1 demolition of Leicester City last weekend in front of a newly renovated Anfield crowd.

With Roberto Firmino bagging a brace against the Foxes, Jurgen Klopp would’ve been delighted with the performance his side put in with the makeshift Lucas Leiva and James Milner lining up in an under-strength Reds defence.

In many ways, tonight’s fixture will prove a good test of just how far Liverpool can go this term with Klopp’s side not needing to worry about juggling European football with their Premier League campaign.

Exactly the same situation as Chelsea of course, we’re expecting both teams to fully go for it this evening in what could potentially prove a high scoring encounter.

With Philippe Coutinho his superb best as the Reds ran out 1-3 winners to hand Klopp his first ever Premier League win in West London last October, Liverpool fans will be hoping for a similar performance.

So without further ado, here’s the starting eleven we expect Klopp to select at Stamford Bridge this evening.
