Some Liverpool fans have been left unimpressed by claims that Diogo Jota and Naby Keita will only be on the bench against Chelsea this evening.

The Daily Mirror say that the Liverpool pair will both be involved this evening.

However, some Liverpool fans were hoping that Keita, in particular, would be included from the off.

Although the Guinean is only just returning from injury, he has been on a specialist training programme for some time, which means that his fitness shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

And many Liverpool fans are frustrated with the news that he won’t be starting.

The news that Keita is set to be on the bench could suggest that Klopp is going to keep faith in Curtis Jones and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Jones started in Liverpool’s last game and scored for them against Sheffield United.

The teenager could now be given the nod again later, as Liverpool seek what would be a majorly important three points against fellow top four contenders, Chelsea.
