Liverpool is on a great run of form, although they got a shock in the name of 3-0 defeat against Watford in the last Premier League game-week, which eventually ended their winning streak.
On the other hand, Chelsea has been impressive this season considering they went through a heavy transition this summer, and the club needs time to be at the top of the English football once again.
Liverpool is expected to the lineup without one-two key players, as they have 4 matches lined up in the next two weeks. Therefore, we can see some rotation by the Reds.
Meanwhile, the Blues are going to be without N’Golo Kante, Tammy Abraham and Andreas Christensen in this match. nevertheless, the match is going to be an exciting contest.
With this, the Sportsrush name three players who can change the game on their own in the contest between two English rivals tonight.

1. Sadio Mane
The man of big occasions Sadio Mane has rescued his side from losing their streak several times. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make any difference in the game against Watford.
But with the last defeat, Liverpool could prove to be even more lethal, and Sadio Mane would be a big influence in it. Senegalese International is in the peak years of his career and has been terrific for Liverpool this season.
He already has bagged 17 goals and 11 assists in the 35 games he has played this season. Moreover, Mane has always performed well against Chelsea including the brace he scored against them in the UEFA Super Cup.
Mane will surely be a great influence in the game against Chelsea, with problems in Chelsea’s defence, the 27-year-old forward can have a great game the Stamford Bridge.
2. Oliver Giroud
The French striker has hardly been given any chances by Frank Lampard but in the recent games, he has been at the forefront in the absence of Tammy Abraham.
In the few games he has played this season, Giroud has been massively efficient. His performance against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur was well appreciated by the fans.
His aerial ability will definitely challenge the defensive setup of Liverpool, and if he has a good day on the field, he may even find one-two goals in the process.
But at the same time, Giroud is inconsistent too but Chelsea has no other option, as Abraham is injured and Mich Batshuayi has been miserably poor in all the games he has played this season.
3. Divock Origi
If going by the speculations either of Mohamed Salah or Roberto Firmino might not start in the game and their default replacement is Divock Origi, who always performs well for the Reds especially in the crucial games.
In the 33 games he played this season, in which he mostly came off the bench, he has managed to amass 3 goals and 5 assists. But his effectiveness in big games is unparalleled.
Thus, we believe if Origi given a chance tonight, which could be unlikely, he can make a difference in the result against Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge tonight.
