Team shape · 05
How will the two teams set up?
Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.
At home
Liverpool
Liverpool are set up to control the ball. They should own most of the possession at Anfield and keep Chelsea penned in for long stretches.
Away
Chelsea
Chelsea carry a title-level squad. They suffocate opponents on the road at Anfield, so Liverpool will need a disciplined low block to stay in it.
