Chelsea are riding high after snatching the UEFA Super Cup and prevailing in their London derbies against Arsenal and Crystal Palace. Thomas Tuchel's team will look to re-signee Romelu Lukaku again to lead the attack, but the Blues have plenty of other options, especially since midfielder N’Golo Kante is likely to be back from injury. Unfortunately, Christian Pulisic tested positive for COVID-19 before the Arsenal match and will likely be unavailable against Liverpool as well.

Jurgen Klopp also has multiple scorers at his disposal, led by Diogo Jota, who notched goals against Burnley and Norwich City. Keeping Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold in check will also present a difficult task for Chelsea's defenders. The Reds, for their part, will be counting on ace defender Virgil van Dijk to try to contain Lukaku.

Here's how the teams line-up heading into this clash of title contenders.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Elliott, Mane, Salah, Firmino

Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, James, Jorginho, Kante, Alonso, Mount, Lukaku, Havertz

Sky Sports has the Liverpool vs Chelsea live stream in the U.K., so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £25/month to add those channels. Or, if you just want the soccer action, Sky is currently offering a deal on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Premier League that gives you both channels on top of your existing non-Sports package, for £18/month.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky sub, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service.
