LFC Globe Verdict
There is nothing too earth-shattering about Jürgen Klopp and his team selection vs Chelsea. I’m glad Stefan Bajcetic was included in the Starting XI. The teenager is in good form as of late and he deserves it. Chelsea, they are missing some offensive firepower. One has to wonder where their offence will come from.
