Giroud's injury status? Batshuayi up front with another stiker (Giroud/Abraham). CHO/Pedro/Pulisic in CAM position, Kante in CM. Formation: 4-3-1-2. Punch them with two strikers up the middle, no messing around with wingers this time.

prediction: 0-4 Liverpool win. I wish we could start seeing 3 in centre midfield and leave Jorginho out of the starting lineup. Kante, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Barkley. Jorginho is fifth choice if all others are healthy.

Liverpool play 4-3-3, create plenty of chances and Chelsea lose. Look forward to following fixtures in Sept. and October with hopefully no more injuries. BTW, do we have a 5th fullback who can play backup LB?

U.S. fan starting in 2004/05 season, because of Chelsea's lineup at that time, the club name and color and my luck seeing them on TV, in Bangkok a number of times. Didier Drobga became my favorite player and Didier was the reason I kept watching Chelsea after the 2004/05 season, but I liked Duff, Robben, Terry, Makelele, Carvalho, and Lampard too. I'm hoping that this forum has a healthy sum of daily users these days; something killed all the other forums. Was it Chelsea's poor decisions that deflated all the online forums in the past 5 years?
