The Reds have picked up maximum points in the league this season but were beaten 2-0 by Napoli in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
Opponents Chelsea were also on the losing side as they conceded 1-0 at the hands of Spanish giants Valencia.
The game witnessed late penalty drama as Ross Barkley blasted a 76′ spotkick into the stands after he snatched the ball off the regular Jorginho.
Chelsea are without their in-form winger Mason Mount who appeared to be in quite pain after a nasty tackle by former Arsenal man Coquelin on tuesday night.
Liverpool will be looking to get back to winning ways and maintain a 5 point advantage over Manchester City who have defensive problems of their own. The Merseyside outfit have been in full flight mode fueling the hopes for another serious title challenge. LFC have just one defeat in last 44 league games.
Youngster Tammy Abraham said, “(Sunday) is a test of character. We can take our anger out against Liverpool”.
Daniel Sturridge scored a stunner last season in the fixture which ended 1-1.
PREDICTED LINE-UPS:
Chelsea’s top 4 credentials would be put to the test vs a Liverpool team who arguably are under their best form under manager Jürgen Klopp.
Frenchman N’golo Kante will be assessed but is most likely to make up the bench. Frank Lampard, seeking his 1st home win of the season would be continuing with a 3-4-3 with the likes of Marcos Alonso and captain Cesar Azpilicueta operating as wingbacks.
Pedro is to come in for Mason Mount. They would be needing a cushion of experience in Willian and Pedro to attack the water tight Liverpool defence.
Tammy Abraham, the man in lightning form, can become only the 2nd man after ex-Red Luis Suarez to score 4 braces in as many games. He has 7 goals in his last 3 Premier League games.
Predicted Line-ups: Kepa, Zouma, Tomori, Christensen, Azpilicueta(c), Alonso, Joginho, Kovacic, Barkley, Pedro, Willian, Abraham. 3-4-3
Jürgen Klopp could be the 1st Liverpool manager to script a record 3 away wins at Stamford Bridge, should his men manage to beat Chelsea.
The Reds would assess the fitness of midfielder Naby Keita but Divock Origi is expected to be out for the game. GK Alisson Becker remains absent.
LFC’s front three are in red hot form and have contributed 10 goals already. Dutch CM Gini Wijnaldum will be welcomed back into the midfield alongside Fabinho and Captain Jordan Henderson.
They would be looking to continue with the favoured 4-3-3.
Predicted Line-Ups: Adrian, Alexander Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson (c), Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane. 4-3-3
