Midfielder, Mateo Kovacic, defender, Cesar Azpilicueta and winger, Willian are all expected to retain their places in Sarri’s squad against the Reds.
Forward, Pedro has been suffering from a shoulder injury he sustained against PAOK in the Europa League clash, while striker Olivier Giroud is now the first-choice striking option due to Alvaro Morata’s poor form since the start of the new campaign.
