Chelsea v Liverpool – Head to Head – Line up Prediction and injury News

Chelsea will take on Liverpool at the Stamford bridge as the two title contenders clash for three points.

Match Date – 29 December, Sunday, 2013

Match Venue – Stamford Bridge

Liverpool has proven themselves as the genuine title contender this season. Lying at the top of the table in the Christmas day, Liverpool dropped down to forth position with a defeat to Manchester City at the boxing day match. The league remains much competitive with all the top 5 teams with the chance to move forward to the top position in the league table.

Chelsea outplayed Swansea City 1-0 in their last game with the 3 points coming from a narrow win, while Liverpool missed couple of scoring chances to compel on a 2-1 defeat at the Ethihad stadium.

Liverpool will miss the service of Steven Gerrard and Danieal Sturridge while the flourishing star Flanagan may also miss the game due to hamstring injury. Liverpool have only 16 players to choose from the first team squad as Victor Moyes will not be able to play against his parent club.

Van Ginkel is a long term absentee for Chelsea. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits Liverpool as the title challenger this season with not playing European tournaments which keeps them fresh for the league.

Liverpool Probable Lineup

Mignolet, Johnson, Sakho, Skrtel, Cissokho, Lucas, Henderson, Allen, Coutinho, Sterling, Suarez

Chelsea Probable Lineup

Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Terry, Ramires, Oscar, Mikel, Hazard, Mata, Torres
