Chelsea team confirmed vs Liverpool: N'Golo Kante, Emerson & Mason Mount start

N'Golo Kante is back for Chelsea today as the Blues host Liverpool in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

Frank Lampard's side are looking to bounce back from their 1-0 Champions League defeat on Tuesday night, however Liverpool also suffered a defeat to Napoli in midweek.

Kante has been a big absence for the Blues this season, struggling to recover from a knee injury and then picking up an ankle problem.

But Lampard will be boosted in having his key player back in the squad, with Kante having played brilliantly in the Super Cup against last season's Champions League winners.

Mason Mount also makes the squad, despite the ankle injury that he picked up against Valencia during the week.

Emerson Palmieri also returns to action after the muscle problem he had during the international break, which is another big boost for Lampard and his side.
