Fabinho, Gapko and Salah to start in Liverpool Predicted Liverpool vs Chelsea line up

Given the rigorous match calendar Liverpool will face in April, Jürgen Klopp promised to make a number of changes to his starting lineup for Chelsea.

The manager will undoubtedly be thinking about the humiliating 4-1 loss to league rival Manchester City before the journey to Chelsea Bridge, not to mention the club’s continuous dismal road record.

There may be some optimism that this will be lessened by the Blues’ recent troubles in London, but a change in the managerial staff scarcely seems to have come at the perfect time for a team aiming for its first road victory since mid-February (2-0 v Newcastle).

Alisson Becker will likely feature between the sticks once more, with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate retaining their places in the backline.

We’d be far from surprised to see serious changes in the middle of the park with James Milner and Fabio Carvalho coming in for Jordan Henderson and Harvey Elliott.

Darwin Nunez should come back into the side for the trip to the capital, taking Diogo Jota’s place in the forward line.

Predicted XI: Alisson, Tsimikas, Van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Milner, Carvalho, Nunez, Gakpo, Salah
