The story in brief
9-second readLIVERPOOL VS. CHELSEA | Wednesday, October 28th |League Cup, Fourth Round | Anfield8PM BST/4PM EST In this cursed timeline Chelsea are rocking up to Anfield with Xabi Alonso and Jordan Henderson onboard.
From the source
In this cursed timeline Chelsea are rocking up to Anfield with Xabi Alonso and Jordan Henderson onboard. The former Liverpool star has yet to win at Anfield as a manager, losing 4-0 with Bayer Leverkusen in 2024 and 1-0 with Real Madrid last year.
In this one, Henderson could well start alongside former target Moisés Caicedo to provide some experience in what will likely be a quite youthful team, though the duo did not cover themselves in glory last time out.
Chelsea have their own minor injury issues ahead of Wednesday: notably, João Pedro is unavailable for this one. With that said, Chelsea’s strategy of buying loads of especially young players put them in the driver’s seat here when it comes to squad options.
