What channel is Liverpool vs Chelsea on, kick-off time, TV and stream details
Liverpool are set to host Chelsea this evening as part of a full midweek Premier League round of games.
It will be the second time the two teams have faced each other this season, with their meeting in the first round of league games last August ending in a 1-1 draw. The game serves as a precursor to their meeting in the Carabao Cup final next month and both sides will be hoping to pick up all three points.
Liverpool have been left reeling by the news manager Jurgen Klopp is set to leave the club at the end of the season, but they are desperate to give him a fitting send-off and have a great opportunity to widen their lead at the top of the table.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are currently languishing in ninth place but they have won their last three league games and manager Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping they can continue their good form against the league leaders. Here is everything you need to know about the match…

Team news
Both teams are set to be missing several important players, although Liverpool did welcome back both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson over the weekend as they beat Norwich 5-2 in the FA Cup.
Kostas Tsimika, Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip and Ben Doak all remain sidelined with injuries, while Wataru Endo is away at the Asian Cup with Japan. Mohamed Salah is also out of action with a hamstring injury suffered at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with Egypt getting knocked out in the last 16 by DR Congo in his absence.
Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, however, could feature against Chelsea after missing the Norwich game. "He felt a little bit and we just said no, no and I don't want to know more, so that's just it. We gave him a rest. I think he should be ready for Wednesday," Klopp said.

Striker Nicolas Jackson is also set to miss the match, having been at AFCON with Senegal.
However, he will be back in action for Chelsea very soon after Senegal were beaten on penalties by Ivory Coast in the last 16. Christopher Nkunku, Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill are all injury doubts.
Colwill picked up a knock in the warm-up ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup clash against Aston Villa, but Pochettino said after the match it was only a minor scare. Chalobah recently returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury, while both Nkunku and Gusto should be ready to feature against Liverpool.
