CHE Vs LIV Dream11 Goal-Keeper
Be it Willy Caballero or Kepa, shuffling around with goal-keepers has hardly been beneficial to Chelsea’s cause this term. Both have been abysmal, giving Lampard a massive headache on whom to instil in between the sticks as he looks to bolster a waning defensive unit.
Willy Caballero looks likely to hold his spot down at the moment though and given the way this Liverpool outfit will pepper his goal with a slew of shots, the saves he’s set to pull off given his ability sees us make him our shot stopper for the day.
CHE Vs LIV Dream11 Defenders
With just one more assist needed to eclipse his own figure of 12 assists in the bygone season, we’ll be beginning this docket of our side with Trent Alexander-Arnold. His vulnerable defensively were brought to the fore against Watford but he’s been articulate when marauding his way towards providing unstinted support to his side’s attacking sorties.
Andrew Robertson comes into our side as well owing to his akin attacking penchant while after his two goal show against Bournemouth to help Chelsea salvage a draw from the tie, Marcos Alonso is our pick from the home side.
CHE Vs LIV Dream11 Midfielders
With the four goals this season, we’ll be venturing into this component of our Dream 11 contingent with the selection of Willian from Chelsea. The four goals for midfielder Jorginho see him earn a place in our outfit as well with the player set to play a pivotal role for the side as he looks o stall Liverpool from crafting attacking plays in the middle.
Elsewhere, after his goal against Everton in the tournamnet to take Liverpool to a 1-0 win in the encounter, Curtis Jones is our pick from Liverpool along with Takumi Minamino.
CHE Vs LIV Dream11 Strikers
With Klopp having asserted that he’ll be doling out a relatively strong side to face Chelsea today, Mohammed Salah looks set to be a part of the side’s playing 11. And with him being their leading scorer with 15 goals and 6 assists this season, the player becomes our first selection in this component.
Divock Origi comes in as well from the outfit while from Chelsea we’ll be dwelling in the services of Olivier Giroud. With Lampard having finally understood Giroud’s calibre as a player, the striker has reposed the faith earmarked in him over the last couple of ties with tenacious performances.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Liverpool are relentless in attack and with Chelsea prone to conceding, we’ll be making Salah our captain while Alonso is the vice-captain.
