PREDICTION: A 2-0 win for Chelsea
FANTASY PICK: Cesc Fabregas
KEY STAT: Liverpool have failed to score in their last two Premier League games. They have not gone three consecutive Premier League matches without scoring since March 2005.

- LIVERPOOL (FORM: L-D-W-W-D-L)

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, fellow midfielder Jordan Henderson and forward Raheem Sterling are all expected to be recalled. The trio were among seven players left out of the midweek defeat at Real Madrid but not all are guaranteed to return. Good performances by the likes of centre-back Kolo Toure and forward Fabio Borini could see them retain their places.


- CHELSEA (FORM: D-W-W-W-D-W)

Striker Diego Costa will start for Premier League leaders Chelsea despite being left out of the Spain squad to recover from his persistent hamstring trouble. Striker Loic Remy (groin) and midfielder John Obi Mikel (knee) are available following recent injuries, with Jose Mourinho having a fully-fit squad to choose from. Full-back Cesar Azpilicueta is available again after completing his three-match domestic suspension following his dismissal against Crystal Palace.
