Liverpool have gotten off to the best possible start in the Premier League this season.

Two games, five goals scored, zero goals conceded, six points. What more could you want?

The Reds may have started brilliantly, but with all due respect to Burnley and Norwich, they’re yet to face a proper challenge.

However, that will all change this weekend as the Merseyside outfit face off against Chelsea.

The European champions are seen as genuine Premier League title contenders this time around, and it’s not hard to understand why after the addition of Romelu Lukaku up top.

With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Liverpool’s starting XI for this one.

We think Liverpool will play their strongest XI for this one, and that means there are changes to be made.

Andy Robertson returns after his injury issues, while Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson get their first starts of the season in the middle of the park.

As ever, the choice of who to play up top is a massive one, but we think Jurgen Klopp will stick with Diogo Jota after his exceptional start to the campaign.

Joel Matip also gets the nod at centre-back ahead of Ibrahima Konate who is still awaiting his first start for his new club.
