Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Premier League showdown with champions Liverpool at Anfield.

Chelsea have the chance to secure a Champions League place for next season with a game to spare when they visit champions Liverpool on Wednesday night.

Victory at Anfield would leave Frank Lampard's side four points clear of fifth place heading into the final day of the season, but anything less would leave them with work still to do this Sunday.

The Blues go into the match off the back of a 3-1 victory over Manchester United which sent them into the FA Cup final, but Liverpool have not lost a home league game at Anfield since April 2017.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
