From the source

Chelsea go to Anfield with a problem that is simple enough to understand. They have injuries in key areas, they have a suspension to deal with and they are coming off a poor 2-0 defeat to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.

Momentum can disappear quickly in football, and that is exactly what has happened here. Back-to-back wins after the international break had improved the mood. Then came the loss to Spurs, and with it a fresh wave of concern around availability.

Xabi Alonso now has to prepare for a Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool, followed almost immediately by a league game against Manchester United. Squad management matters, but so does simply having enough reliable bodies fit and available.
