Full Chelsea squad revealed for Liverpool game as Frank Lampard faces Christian Pulisic decision

Chelsea capped off an excellent week with victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final.

Frank Lampard's side will return to Wembley in a fortnight where they will face Arsenal in the final, after goals from Olivier Giroud, Mason Mount and an own goal from Harry Maguire sealed a 3-1 win.

In the Premier League, the Blues are within touching distance of a top four place, with their fate in their own hands.

A win over newly crowned champions Liverpool on Wednesday night would guarantee Champions League qualification, but Jurgen Klopp's side will be desperate to sign off their campaign at Anfield in style before receiving the Premier League trophy.

Frank Lampard on Callum Hudson-Odoi

Ahead of the clash, Blues boss Lampard has some decisions to make in regards to his team selection.

N'Golo Kante is still injured, so Chelsea could stick with a midfield trio of Mount, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic.

Christian Pulisic missed out on Sunday, with Lampard confirming that the USA winger had a slight injury.

"A couple of changes I have made with Christian Pulisic has got a small injury issue and there is a risk in starting him trying to play the full game.

"Maybe he can come off the bench but other than that I am confident that I have picked a team that can win the game."

As it turned out, Pulisic wasn't needed at Wembley, but it remains to be seen if he will be fine to face Liverpool, although the former Borussia Dortmund star did take part in training on Tuesday.

Elsewhere, Olivier Giroud looks likely to keep his place spearheading the Chelsea attack, after his goalscoring performance against Manchester United.

Full Chelsea squad available: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero; Cesar Azpilicueta, Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri; Jorginho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount; Willian, Pedro, Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi; Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi and Faustino Anjorin.
