Xabi Alonso has made four changes for Chelsea and the least surprising is the sight of Danny Welbeck leading the line in view of Joao Pedro's continued absence. Malo Gusto, Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana - a trio that have been increasingly on the fringes lately - also get the chance to impress. Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson remains in the first XI in what is sure to be a rather surreal sight for Liverpool fans, who will also have to come to terms with seeing Alonso in the away dug-out. 📝 @SJohnsonSport 🔗
