Chelsea host Liverpool in the Premier League with both sides looking to bounce back from a couple of disappointing results in recent days.

The champions travel to the capital having lost back-to-back matches for just the second time under Arne Slot, with the Dutchman facing perhaps the first major test of his tenure as he attempts to balance a squad that includes five major summer signings.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's win over Benfica in midweek eased some of the pressure on Enzo Maresca, with the Italian facing some (perhaps undeserved) questioning after successive losses to Manchester United and Brighton.

The Blues are without a win in the Premier League since 30 August though, and while Liverpool still lead the Premier League ahead of the weekend's fixtures, a loss for either side tonight could provoke an uncomfortable international break for each manager, albeit for different reasons.

The match is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 4 October at Stamford Bridge in London. Kick-off is set for 5.30pm BST.

Viewers in the UK can watch the match on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting at 5pm BST on both channels. Subscribers can also stream the match online via NOWTV. If you're not a Sky customer, you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass to watch without a subscription.

This match will come too soon for Cole Palmer and Tosin Adarabioyo, who will likely be out until after the international break. However, Andrey Santos and Wesley Fofana could return to the squad after short-term injury lay-offs.

Trevoh Chalobah is suspended after his red card against Brighton, while Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo and Liam Deal remain the longer-term absentees.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has already ruled out Alisson after the Brazilian was forced to come off in the loss to Galatasaray, while Hugo Ekitike trained on Friday after suffering an injury in Istanbul and could be involved.

Giovanni Leoni has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, while Federico Chiesa could make a return after missing out on the midweek squad due to an ongoing - though less serious - issue.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Badiashile, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo, Fernandez; Estevao, Pedro, Neto.

Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.
