Liverpool line up confirmed for Chelsea - Jurgen Klopp makes one key change and Rhian Brewster included

Gini Wijnaldum returns to the Liverpool side in place of James Milner for today's visit to Chelsea.

That is the only change for manager Jurgen Klopp who keeps faith with the majority of the side that tasted their first defeat of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 reverse at Napoli.

Adrian stays in goal in front of a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, while Wijnaldum plays alongside Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in midfield.
