Several high-profile duels could decide Chelsea's crucial Premier League clash against the champions on Sunday afternoon. The gulf was seemingly minimal when Liverpool locked horns with Chelsea back in October, but the Blues head into Sunday's clash at Stamford Bridge a whopping 22 points behind the newly-crowned Premier League champions.

Chelsea hope goalkeeper Robert Sanchez will be fit to face Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Sanchez sustained a knock in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Everton and missed the midweek win over Djurgarden in the first leg of the Blues’ Conference League semi-final.

Arne Slot's men have now won seven of their last eight league matches and have suffered only one defeat in their last 30-making their title run one of sheer dominance.
