However, the former Paris Saint-Germain star is in a race against time to make the trip to Anfield to face the Premier League champions.
The team did not do badly when Silva was away on the sidelines as Thomas Tuchel's men have kept four clean sheets and conceded two goals in his absence.
Tuchel remains unbeaten since he took over fromFrank Lampard in January and Silva's inclusion into his squad will further boost his chances of not losing against the troubled Jurgen Klopp's side.
Chelsea are back in contention for a top-four finish as they are currently in fifth position on the Premier League standings.
Callum Hudson-Odoi who had a bandage wrapped around his thigh during the draw against Man United could also be available for selection against the Reds.
The Blues lost to Liverpool by 2-0 at Stamford Bridge under Lampard in the first half of the season but the resurgent side under Tuchel will be looking to get a better result at Merseyside.
