Conte to make two changes – Strongest 3-4-3 Chelsea lineup to face Liverpool

Antonio Conte

All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge this Sunday as English powerhouses Chelsea get set to host Liverpool in a colossal clash. There’s a difference of 6 points between the two teams and the race to finish in the top-four is certainly heating up.

If the Blues manage to pull off a win, they will cause a massive hindrance to Liverpool’s hopes of finishing in the third spot. However, Jurgen Klopp’s men cannot be taken lightly and Chelsea must be wary of the visitors’ every move.

David Luiz and Danny Drinkwater continue to be long-term absentees but besides that, Conte has no fresh injury concerns and should have a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Predicted Chelsea XI to face Liverpool

Manager: Antonio Conte

Formation: 3-4-3

Thibaut Courtois (GK)

Courtois is expected to take up his usual role between the sticks as he has been one of our strongest players this season.

Gary Cahill (CB)

Cahill’s recent performances have proven to be quite sturdy and his experience often adds an extra dimension to the Chelsea defence.

Cesar Azpilicueta (CB)

Azpilicueta has been one of Chelsea’s most consistent performers this season and he is expected to retain his spot against Liverpool.

Andreas Christensen (CB)

Marcos Alonso (LWB)

After a long hiatus, Alonso will be back in the lineup after serving his three-match ban.

N’Golo Kante (CM)

Kante has been an influential presence for Chelsea in the middle of the park. He can effortlessly link the defence with the attack and can impact the game in an unparalleled manner.

Cesc Fabregas (CM)

Fabregas can work wonders in the central midfield area and he is expected to retain his spot against the Reds.

Victor Moses (RWB)

Moses has been a constant for Chelsea and he is likely to start in his usual role this Sunday.

Willian (RW)

Willian has been one of Chelsea’s most promising players this term and he should find himself in the starting XI against Liverpool.

Giroud has proven to be a strong figure for the Blues and he is likely to find his name in the starting lineup on Sunday.
