#3 Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Trent Alexander-Arnold has become a cult figure at Liverpool after a string of exceptional performances at right-back last season led Liverpool to the Premier League title. The English defender has not been his usual self in the recent past, however, and will be tested against a strong Chelsea side.
Trending
Trent Alexander-Arnold has an excellent record against Chelsea, however, and scored an incredible free-kick in the previous meeting between the two sides a couple of months ago. The full-back is known for his forays into the final third but will be up against the pacy Timo Werner and needs to be wary of Chelsea's counter-attacks.
The talented right-back was not at his best against Leeds United last week and was often caught out of position by Marcelo Bielsa's machinations. Frank Lampard will look to exploit Alexander-Arnold's propensity to burst forward and the defender will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
#2 Timo Werner (Chelsea)
Timo Werner produced several moments of brilliance for Chelsea on his Premier League debut last week and will be presented with a much sterner test against a Liverpool defence that was brilliant last season. Timo Werner is perfectly capable of dismantling any back-line with his pace, however, and will back himself against a Liverpool side that has not met its lofty standards so far this season.
The German striker tormented Brighton's defence last week and used his pace to win Chelsea a penalty in the build-up to the opening goal. Werner's versatility allows him to play across the forward line and Frank Lampard will be able to use his star man in a variety of positions.
Timo Werner has both pace and form on his side and will be up against Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez this weekend. The Liverpool defence has not been at its best in recent weeks and Timo Werner will want to show Liverpool what they are missing and score his first Chelsea goal against Jurgen Klopp's side.
#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Mohamed Salah proved his critics wrong over the weekend with a splendid performance against Leeds United and will be Liverpool's chief threat going into this game. The Egyptian winger was not at his best against Arsenal in the FA Community Shield game but erupted in Liverpool's first Premier League match of the season and scored a stunning hat-trick.
Salah's heroics propelled Liverpool to a 4-3 victory last weekend and Jurgen Klopp will be counting on his talisman to step up against his former side. Chelsea do not have the most reliable defence in the Premier League and Mohamed Salah's pace and potency in the final third has troubled the Blues on several occasions in the past.
Salah's hat-trick against Leeds United is an ominous sign for a Chelsea side that did not have the best of outings against Leeds United last week. Jurgen Klopp's side has its fair share of issues but they do have the ultimate trump card in an in-form Mohamed Salah.
