Chelsea XI vs Liverpool – Predicted lineup and team news Chelsea travel to Anfield on Saturday, aiming to avoid a historic seventh consecutive league defeat. The Blues occupy ninth place and are mathematically out of the race for the top five. Interim manager Calum McFarlane wants to build confidence before next weekend’s FA Cup final.
Chelsea have failed to win since early March during a disastrous run of form. However, they remain within four points of sixth-placed Bournemouth in the standings. Chelsea have won just one of their last ten league visits to Anfield.
The visitors are aiming to complete a league double over Liverpool for the first time since 2014. They won the reverse fixture 2–1 at Stamford Bridge back in October. McFarlane believes his young squad must show more resilience to stop their current slide.
The interim boss has urged his players to find form before heading to Wembley. Chelsea team news Calum McFarlane delivered an encouraging update on Reece James and Levi Colwill this week. Both defenders have trained fully and are in contention to start the match at Anfield.
