Chelsea team confirmed vs Liverpool: Christian Pulisic on bench as Reece James starts

It’s a huge night for Chelsea as they could confirm Champions League football for next season with a victory against Liverpool.

However, it will be no easy task as the Blues take on newly-crowned Premier League champions at Anfield.

The Reds may have taken their eye off of the ball since clinching the title, but they are still one of the best teams in Europe and will pose a real problem all night.

Frank Lampard’s side were superb in their FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester United on Sunday, and the Blues boss will be hoping for much of the same

And the Blues boss has selected his team in the hope that they can secure the top four spot, sticking with the same outfield side from the weekend, with just Kepa Arrizabalaga returning in goal.

Check out the full Chelsea team below:

Chelsea: Kepa, James, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Willian, Giroud.

Subs: Caballero, Christensen, Tomori, Emerson, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Pedro, Pulisic, Abraham.
