England star Cole Palmer is still out injured, Maresca said in his press conference on Chelsea TV, while Trevoh Chalobah is suspended after picking up a red card last weekend against Brighton.

Liverpool were dealt a heavy blow in the midweek after first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker picked up a shoulder injury in the loss to Galatasaray. In addition, Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa face late fitness tests.

Ahead of the game, a cat famously known as Nimbus the King, has predicted the outcome of the encounter.

The cat, popular for predicting the outcome of football matches, correctly predicted last weekend's match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Footage shows how the cat predicted the winner of the La Liga fixture.

In the same fashion, the cat has now predicted Chelsea to take all three points when they welcome Liverpool to Stamford Bridge.

Two bowls labelled with each team were presented, and the feline walked straight to the one having Chelsea's logo to eat from it.

Although there is a third bowl in the middle, which represents a 'draw', Nimbus the King looked comfortable eating from Chelsea's bowl.

Fans react to Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction

The video has since garnered lots of reactions from fans.

mr_king212 noted: "I'm a Chelsea fan, but I doubt. Our players are terrible these days."
azmli added: "Cat expression sums it up. She stared at Liverpool like it would be this one, but I'm taking Chelsea."
futbol_nest said: "Chelsea winning 3:1."

Recall that Chelsea bounced back to winning ways in midweek with a 1-0 win against Benfica in the Champions League. Liverpool have suffered back-to-back defeats, losing to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray.

With just two wins on the board from six Premier League games, Chelsea are already seven points behind Liverpool.

The Reds, on the other hand, could find themselves in second place by the time Saturday's game kicks off, as Arsenal will temporarily go top if they can defeat West Ham United at 3 pm. It is all to play for in this encounter as there is a lot at stake for both teams.
