Andy Robertson returns for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Chelsea at Anfield this evening.

The full-back makes his first competitive appearance of the season after recovering from an ankle issue as the Reds make three changes.

Fabinho is named in midfield, while Roberto Firmino returns in attack, with the trio replacing Kostas Tsimikas, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota.

Big call to go Harvey not sure Keita and Jota deserve to go on bench

Happy with that! Come on Liverpool

Jurgens showing big balls playing Elliot. Normally likes a condensed midfield against the big teams but looks like he wants to go for it. Jota to come off the bench to score the winner. Haven’t been so pumped for a match in ages! Come on lads!

Jota no Ketia looks a little ineffective to me

wow, Jürgen throwing Elliott in the deep end of the pool. Elliott instead of Keita is the only surprise, i thought Naby has played very well and didn't deserve to come off. Ditto for Jota but i can understand the tactical approach to Bobby and his ability to press and drop deep to break up play in the middle.

Hadn't realised Fabinho was back available.  Good to see him back in the team.  Henderson and Fabinho giving Chelsea a lot of respect, which to be fair they probably do deserve.

Big call going for Firmino over Jota.  Good luck lads.

Surprised to see Harvey there but I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion. Not surprised Bobby is back in though, think we will need his link up play today.

I think Klopp knows that chelsea won’t know how to handle Elliott

Same could be said for Keita since the guy was always hurt 

Come on boys, buzzing for this!

Gone for a 2-1 win, surprised at Keita being benched...

Come on Harvey, show the world that we do not need to spend millions. Bold and courageous but either you have it or you do not.

Jota and Keita will feel a little down but they will be off the bench wanting to make a point.

When i saw the starting lineup my reflex reaction was to think "oh god, don't tell me Keita is hurt AGAIN", but took a sigh of relief when i saw he's on the bench. He's so damn good when healthy.

Exactly - we have an amazing bench! Going to need it

Jota no Ketia looks a little ineffective to me

Been doing a lot of dirty work and pressing stats been good can feel a tad unlucky like Jota and Kostas I suppose

Exactly - we have an amazing bench! Going to need it

and it doesn't even include Jones in it. But we have no depth, i have been told.

I can only guess Elliott has trained superbly this week. Same as Firmino? Jürgen's definitely one to play those who has shown everything in training. Big day for Harvey!

WOW!!  I was not expecting Elliot to start again.  The lad must be buzzing!!  Strong side with a strong bench.  Good stuff!!

I do not agree with Jürgen about Robbo, but I agree with him about Elliott. If he brings Harvey in such a game you know the kid has it, just like TAA back then.

Jürgen's opinion is the only one that matters.

Big call on Elliot? maybe,but  Think the lad deserves to keep his place after his standout performance last weekend lagainst Burnley moreover the lad has got a set off balls.
