'Let's spoil their title again!'- Chelsea fans go crazy for Sarri's starting XI against Liverpool

Chelsea fans are delighted with Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea starting XI against Liverpool after he picked both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to start once more.

Loftus-Cheek has become the Italian's preferred midfield partner for Jorginho and N'Golo Kante in recent weeks and that alone has delighted fans, but Hudson-Odoi is now about to get his third Premier League start in as many games at Anfield.

It's a big show of faith in the young English talent from Sarri as he looks to mastermind a victory against the Reds and keep his side's top four hopes alive.

The fans don't even seem to mind that he's dropped both Olivier Giroud and Gonzalo Higuain and gone for a false nine instead, with Eden Hazard leading the line with Hudson-Odoi and Willian in support.

Sarri seems to have listened to fan opinion in recent weeks with his line-ups and Chelsea fans have been extremely pleased every time the team sheets have dropped on social media, with today no different.

Hudson-Odoi wasn't involved at all in Prague on Thursday night meaning he is fresh for today's game, which is surely one of the biggest tests of the young man's career so far.
