Liverpool and Chelsea go head-to-head later this week.

Liverpool’s players were back on the training ground on Tuesday morning ahead of their huge Premier League clash with Chelsea on Friday.

The Reds were exceptional last time out, defeating reigning Premier League champions Leicester City 4-1 courtesy of goals from Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana and a brace from Roberto Firmino.

The result means Liverpool are fifth in the table with seven points from a possible 12, and they will be hoping to continue their fine form against the second-placed Blues later this week.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was always going to need time to stamp his authority on this squad and the early signs this season suggest they are going to challenge for silverware and fight tooth and nail for a place in the top four at the very least.

Brazilian midfielder Emre Can was back in training after missing the last two league matches with ligament problems and he could feature against the Blues albeit most likely from the bench.
