Full Chelsea squad to face Liverpool confirmed as Thomas Tuchel is dealt Thiago Silva setback

Chelsea are back in Premier League action this evening when they take on Liverpool at Anfield.

Thomas Tuchel's men are on a fine run of form, now 10 unbeaten across all competitions following last weekend's draw with Manchester United.

And their unbeaten run will face another stern test this evening against a Liverpool side desperate to return to form following a difficult run which saw them drop to sixth in the Premier League table.

The reigning champions, who are just a point behind Chelsea in the table, beat Sheffield United last time out after losing four straight Premier League games, and they will be desperate to make it back-to-back wins here.

Chelsea will have other ambitions but they won't be helped by the continued absence of key defender Thiago Silva.

"Thiago made his first training with the team, but did not finish the last exercise – not of any pain or anything, just to be aware of not taking a risk," Tuchel said in his pre-match press conference.

"I assume he is in training today but he is not at 100 percent, so he will not join the squad for Liverpool."

Tuchel also revealed Tammy Abraham is a doubt, adding: "Tammy had some problems yesterday on the ankle again, so let's see how this works out."

So, what squad does Tuchel have left to pick from? Take a look below.

Goalkeepers: Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero

Defenders: Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso. Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Reece James, Cesar Azpilicueta, Emerson Palmieri, Ben Chilwell

Midfielders: Hakim Ziyech, Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Billy Gilmour, Kai Havertz, Faustino Anjorin, Lewis Bate

Forwards: Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham (doubt), Olivier Giroud, Callum Hudson-Odoi
