Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Arne Slot makes three changes to his starting XI, with Caoimhin Kelleher, Andrew Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai coming in for Alisson Becker, Kostas Tsimikas and Alexis Mac Allister.

It means Cody Gakpo is preferred in attack to Luis Diaz.

As for Chelsea, Reece James is a surprise starter having recovered from injury.

It suggests Malo Gusto will switch over to left-back, with Marc Cucurella suspended.

Elsewhere, Tosin Adarabioyo replaces Wesley Fofana, who is also banned, while Romeo Lavia starts in central midfield over Enzo Fernandez.

LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Jota

Subs: Jaros, Gomez, Endo, Diaz, Darwin, Mac Allister, Tsimikas, Quansah, Morton

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, James, Tosin, Colwill, Gusto, Lavia, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson

Subs: Bettinelli, Disasi, Badiashile, Neto, Enzo, Felix, Nkunku, Dewsbury-Hall, Veiga

I've went into 14k overall after that haaland blanks past three weeks, but for next week it will be good to take Foden at least to try and get some points? (Have just Gvardiol from city)

Is it time to sell Robertson? If so which defender is best?

(Not Gabriel, Lewis, Robinson)

Thanks in advance

  Honestly, I think Robertson is a season hold. Nil attacking returns this far but when you look at his past stats, eventually variance will swing back in our favour .
  
  If it backfires, then worst case you probably have 140 points. Best case you have 200 and leave everyone in the dirt

What’s everyone’s transfer plans going forward/priority buys? It’s a very bizarre season and feel directionless at the moment

  It's probably going to be very boring for me. I want to free up 1m from Raya to most likely Sels. I don't know if I'm being knee jerky because Raya was going to be a set and forget at one point. I just want to get as much money in attack as possible.

FPL did a real good job with pricing this season! Feel like we keep going around in cycles with the premium assets and which ones are the best ones to have out of Haaland + Salah + Palmer + Saka + Son (and maybe Watkins / Foden too)

Henderson
TAA Gabriel Robinson
Saka Palmer Mbeumo Rogers
Haaland Havertz DCL

With 4 FT, what would you suggest doing?

A. WC, and change Henderson, DCL, Saka, Havertz, Robinson and bolster defence. Potentially bringing in Salah, and use the c/f to move things around in WC12

B. Eat into the FT's to make some of thosd changes and hold off until around WC12 to use it

I'm finding it tricky the extended FT rule, it was a lot simpler when a transfer had to be made when got to 2..
