Jurgen Klopp rang the changes for the Reds, with Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson all dropping to the bench for the clash in West London. Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk didn't travel to the capital as he succumbed to a bout of illness on Monday afternoon.

Led by interim manager Bruno Saltor, Chelsea had two goals disallowed after VAR checks with Reece James' thumping first half-volley chalked off for an offside infringement by Enzo Fernandez.
