Confirmed LFC team vs Chelsea – Reds make nine changes at the Bridge

Liverpool FC

Jurgen Klopp has made nine changes to the side that faced Chelsea in midweek, with Virgil van Dijk and Jordan Henderson amongst the inclusions at Stamford Bridge.

The Reds travel to London, hoping to make amends for their 2-1 loss to Maurizio Sarri’s side in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Klopp had made eight changes from the side that beat Southampton 3-0 at Anfield last weekend, with the likes of Simon Mignolet, Nathaniel Clyne, Fabinho and Alberto Moreno getting their first start of the campaign.

The manager makes __ changes for the Reds’ second meeting with Chelsea, with the Reds restoring some key players to their line-up.
