'Sarri in!' - these fans love Chelsea's starting XI as Blues boss drops Liverpool hint

Maurizio Sarri's line ups have came under constant scrutiny this season and in recent months, usually for whether Callum Hudson-Odoi has made the cut.

The youngster doesn't even make the squad this evening but that doesn't seem to have worried Chelsea fans who are looking forward to Sunday's clash with Liverpool.

Sarri has also dropped the likes of N'Golo Kante, Eden Hazard, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and David Luiz from his starting XI but they all line up on the substitutes bench for tonight's match with Slavia Prague.

The Liverpool mega Nike deal and how it stands to affect Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Man United  

The Blues have mainted a strong backline as Kepa Arrizabalaga starts in goal and is protected by Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, and Cesar Azpilicueta.

Willian and Pedro support Olivier Giroud, while Jorginho is joined by Ross Barkley and Mateo Kovacic in midfield.

Plenty of fans believe the XI will be enough to rake in a win tonight and that Sarri will choose a strong Xi on Sunday. Here's what they had to say:

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Rudiger, Alonso, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Kovacic, Giroud, Willian, Christensen, Azpilicueta

Subs: Cabellero, Kante, Higuain, Hazard, Loftus-Cheek, Zappacosta and David Luiz
