Liverpool team news: Sturridge and Oxlade-Chamberlain start against Chelsea

The Reds have made five changes to their starting XI for Saturday evening's encounter against Antonio Conte's side at Anfield

Daniel Sturridge and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have been entrusted to terrorise Chelsea’s defence with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp opting to rest Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

The England striker lines up against his former club in his fifth league start of the season and will form the focal point of the hosts’ attack at Anfield.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, meanwhile, is in the XI for just the second time under Klopp in the top flight, earning his fourth run-out from the off overall.
