Team news, key stats and predictions ahead of Chelsea vs Liverpool in the Premier League.
Team news
Liverpool striker Divock Origi could be fit to face Chelsea only a week after hobbling out of Liverpool's win over Newcastle. Alisson and Naby Keita remain sidelined, although both players have returned to training.
Antonio Rudiger remains a doubt after missing out on Chelsea's defeat by Valencia in midweek, and had a scan on Friday, with Mason Mount another concern for Frank Lampard, although the Blues boss did not rule him out despite a nasty-looking injury suffered in that Champions League game. N'Golo Kante could return, as could Emerson Palmieri.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all out.

Opta stats
- Chelsea have won just one of their last nine Premier League meetings with Liverpool (D5 L3), beating them 1-0 in May 2018 thanks to an Olivier Giroud strike.
- Having won just one of their first 16 Premier League away games against Chelsea (D4 L11), Liverpool have won five of their last 11 at Stamford Bridge in the competition (W5 D3 L3).
- In all competitions, Chelsea have only failed to score in one of their last 20 meetings with Liverpool, in a 0-2 defeat at Anfield last season.
- Chelsea have beaten the side starting the day top of the Premier League on 18 occasions - three more than any other side.
- Liverpool have lost just once in their last 44 Premier League matches (W36 D7 L1) and are unbeaten in their last 22 (W18 D4 L0), their longest such run in PL history. In fact, Liverpool last went 23 league games unbeaten in November 1990 (23).

- Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has won two of his four Premier League away games against Chelsea - no Liverpool manager has won three games in the competition at Stamford Bridge.
- Frank Lampard will be the 16th different Chelsea manager to face Liverpool in the Premier League - none of the last six have won their first league meeting with the Reds, since Carlo Ancelotti did so in October 2009 (D3 L3).
- Chelsea's last 11 Premier League goals have been scored by English players - excluding own goals, this is their joint-longest run of English scorers, also scoring 11 consecutively between September 1993 and January 1994.
Charlie Nicholas' prediction
I think Frank Lampard wants to attack, which opens up the counter-attack scenario for Liverpool. They both got bad results in Europe through the week, they are making mistakes that they didn't make last season and you can get at their defence.
Pedro and Willian behind Tammy Abraham is a trio of danger. They need to find the killer pass in this game, which I think they will. Liverpool will pin them in when they can, but it will be an open game of football, which will see Liverpool drop their 100 per cent record.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-2 (11/1 with Sky Bet)
