The reigning champions, Liverpool, will field an identical or strengthened squad for their trip to Stamford Bridge, as manager Slot confirmed on Friday that Conor Bradley is set to train with the team and may return for this match.

Joe Gomez's hamstring injury will keep him sidelined for another couple of weeks, making him Liverpool's only likely absentee on Sunday, with Slot confirming he will make adjustments to the lineup now that first place is secured.

However, Mohamed Salah will not get any rest as he chases a veteran record; after scoring his 28th top-flight goal of the season against Spurs, the Egyptian needs just one more to tie Didier Drogba's all-time record for an over-30 player in a Premier League campaign, set in 2009-10.

Chelsea faces more injury challenges, as Maresca confirmed that both Robert Sanchez and Christopher Nkunku missed Thursday's win due to knocks and will need assessments, though Sanchez has a better chance of being fit.

Players such as Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Omari Kellyman (thigh), Marc Guiu (thigh), Aaron Anselmino (unspecified), and Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended) will remain unavailable for now, but Maresca is expected to make several changes similar to Slot on Sunday.

Nicolas Jackson, who scored a brace off the bench against Djurgardens and the winning goal against Everton last weekend—his first Premier League goal from outside the box—is currently in strong scoring form.

Chelsea possible starting lineup:

Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

Liverpool possible starting lineup:

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Elliott, Gakpo; Diaz
