Live Streaming & Starting XI Chelsea vs Liverpool, Lukaku dropped, The Reds without Klopp, Live SCTV

TRIBUNNEWS.COM – The following is a live streaming link and line-up for the match between Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League week 20 match, shortly.

In the match which will be held at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea as the host has removed Romelu Lukaku from the squad.

Lukaku’s exit is not surprising given the statements made by the player who is not happy at Chelsea.

The controversial attitude shown by Lukaku in front of the media also seemed to make Thomas Tuchel drop his name from the squad against Liverpool.

Instead, Tuchel entrusted Kai Havertz to play in place of Lukaku up front.

Havertz, who will play the role of the false nine scheme, is supported by the movements of Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic behind him.

The absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell made Tuchel also change the lineup at the wingback post by installing Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

Luckily, the duo of Ngolo Kante and Matteo Kovacic are expected to be the initial protectors of Chelsea’s defense from Liverpool attacks.

Meanwhile, unfavorable conditions also hit the Liverpool squad who played without the presence of Jurgen Klopp.

Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool coach had to be absent because he tested positive for Covid-19 which made him absent from this match.
