""Arne Slot's side look so vulnerable defensively," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. "I covered their defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend and Palace could have gone 4-0 up, no word of a lie. "Alisson went off injured against Galatasaray, and if he is missing it is not going to help. We know Liverpool can hurt Chelsea but it is the other end they have to worry about.""
"Rod grew up in Leeds and started supporting his hometown team at just the right time. He told BBC Sport: "It wasn't until I was about 11 that I properly got into football, and that is when I decided my team was obviously going to be Leeds. "It was a great time to start following them. We went up in 1990, finished fourth... and then we were [First Division] champions the following year, beating Manchester United to the title."
Liverpool have lost consecutive matches in the Premier League and Champions League, revealing defensive vulnerabilities. Crystal Palace could have extended their lead significantly in one recent defeat, underscoring defensive frailties. Alisson suffered an injury against Galatasaray, and his potential absence would further weaken Liverpool's defensive stability. Liverpool retain attacking potency capable of troubling Chelsea, but defensive lapses remain the primary concern.
