N’Golo Kanté is finally back. Bruno Saltor, the new Chelsea coach since the dismissal of Graham Potter, started the French international in his midfield with three, alongside Mateo Kovacic and Enzo Fernandez. With the absences of Thiago Silva and César Azpilicueta, he is even captain of the Blues. Absent since August due to a hamstring injury, he returned to the lawn of Stamford Bridge last Saturday, during Chelsea’s defeat against Aston Villa (0-2) in the Premier League.
On the side of Liverpool, Virgil Van Dijk, sick, is absent from the score sheet. Mohamed Salah starts the game on the bench. Roberto Firmino, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota will lead the Reds’ attacks.
