Liverpool take on Chelsea in the Premier League this Saturday as they aim to bounce back from a midweek Champions League loss to Galatasaray. The Reds fell to a 1-0 defeat in Turkey, with Victor Osimhen's controversial penalty being the only thing that separated the sides in Europe.

Matters were only made worse when goalkeeper Alisson limped off in the second half of the Champions League game with a hamstring injury. The Brazilian shotstopper will likely be out until the November international break after a scan revealed the extent of the issue.

Reds boss Arne Slot confirmed the 'keeper's absence from the Chelsea matchday squad in the days following his injury. He said: "Alisson is not a part of the squad. And he’s not going to travel to Brazil as well for the national team. So, he will be out for Saturday."

Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca's Chelsea secured a 1-0 win over Jose Mourinho's Benfica in the Champions League, but had yet another player sent off when Joao Pedro was dismissed in added time. This means the Blues have received three red cards in their last four matches, signalling a potential discipline issue within the squad.

The Blues will hope to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat by Brighton in the Premier League after being boosted by their European victory. But Slot's side will be eager to get back on the winning side of things after losses to Galatasaray and Crystal Palace in the last week. Here, Mirror Football has all the details on how you can tune into this crucial clash at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea will kick off against Liverpool on Saturday, October 5 at 5:30pm. The game will be played at Stamford Bridge.

The match will be covered by Sky Sports, and is able to view on Sky Sports Main Event and also on Sky Sports Premier League. Coverage will begin from 5pm.

Liverpool will be looking to get back to winning ways, but Stamford Bridge has not been a place of success for the Reds in recent years. The reigning Premier League champions have not won away at Chelsea since September 2020, with three draws and one loss in the last few fixtures.

Alisson is likely to miss the London trip alongside Giovanni Leoni, who tore his ACL during Liverpool's 2-1 win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup. On Friday, Slot confirmed that Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa are both being assessed for fitness, after one was substituted off in Turkey and the other didn't travel for the game.

Speaking ahead of the match, Slot said: "Hugo is going to train today again and let’s see where he is, and the same can be said for Federico. We have to wait and see after the session where exactly they are."

On the other side of the ball, Maresca is dealing with his own injury and suspension problems. Trevoh Chalobah will be unavailable due to his red card in the 3-1 defeat to Brighton, compounding the Italian manager's problem at centre-half.

Injuries to Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana mean that Maresca can only choose from Benoit Badiashile, Josh Acheampong and Jorrel Hato as out-and-out defenders to stop the Reds.

Cole Palmer is also out for Chelsea with a persistent groin injury, joining Andrey Santos, Liam Delap and Dario Essugo as longer-term absentees. Reece James returning midweek is a big boost for Maresca, after he came off the bench against Benfica and looks to be in contention for Saturday.
