Chelsea v Liverpool: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

Chelsea and Liverpool both lost their opening Champions League group games during the week but the latter appear to be in a better place before visiting Stamford Bridge. Jürgen Klopp’s side have a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League and will be hopeful of maintaining their 100% record, especially as Chelsea are likely to be without Mason Mount after the midfielder suffered an ankle injury against Valencia.
