Liverpool face a tough task when they host Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday, as they enter the game on the back of a morale-sapping 3-3 draw with Sevilla.

Drawing 3-3 against Sevilla away from home might not sound bad on paper but the manner of the second-half capitulation after being 3-0 up could prove damaging to Klopp's side.

Several players were criticised for their second-half performances that saw the game turned on its head, in particular Alberto Moreno and Jordan Henderson.

Had Liverpool held onto their lead they would have topped the group and qualified for the Round of 16. As it is they now need at least a point from their last fixture against Spartak Moscow.

By way of contrast, Chelsea had a comfortable time in their Champions League clash with FK Qarabag, winning 4-0 against the minnows of Azerbaijan.

Not only did the win guarantee their entry in to the knockout stages, but Antonio Conte was also able to rest Alvaro Morata ahead of the clash with the Reds.

The only positive for Liverpool for the week of Champions League action is that the Blues had to endure a 5000-mile trip to secure their three points.

Recent history, however, is on Liverpool's side, after Klopp's men beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and drew 1-1 at Anfield last season.

Football Insider has come up with a starting XI that will continue Liverpool's dominance and secure Klopp three more points as he hunts for Liverpool's first Premier League title.

Goalkeeper and defenders

Simon Mignolet (Goalkeeper) - Klopp should recall his usual choice for goalkeeper in league games – Mignolet has had a decent start to the season despite Liverpool conceding 17 goals so far in the league.

Joe Gomez (Right-back) - The young defender has hardly put a foot wrong this season, and has justified not only a regular place in the Liverpool team but his international call-up.

Dejan Lovren (Centre-back) - The defender is the best option at centre-back right now despite hefty criticism from the fans.

Joel Matip (Centre-back) - The 26-year-old should be fit after a thigh injury stopped him playing in the Sevilla game.

James Milner (Left-back) - Moreno had a shocker against Sevilla and Klopp should drop him to the bench. The game against Chelsea is massive, the scrutiny on the defence will be huge and Moreno has proved his vulnerability again. Andy Robertson might be the natural replacement but Klopp needs experience at the back and Milner can provide it, despite him revealing he wasn't happy at playing at left-back last season.

Midfielders

Philippe Coutinho (Left midfield) - Big games need star players and Liverpool's best player is Coutinho, simple. Coutinho is a constant attacking threat and even when his space is limited, the Brazilian can still provide a magic moment.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Right midfield) - Liverpool need to make the most of their strength, which is going forward. Oxlade-Chamberlain enhances that even more and Klopp should give him a rare league start.

Emre Can (Centre midfield) - Can has proved his worth to Liverpool this season but he's still not signed a new contract and his time at the club could be up next summer. That would be a big loss for Klopp.

Forwards

Mohamed Salah (Right wing) - The best possible line-up has to include the best Premier League summer signing, and after a poor spell at Chelsea, the attacker will no doubt relish an opportunity to show Blues fans what they missed out on.

Roberto Firmino (Striker)- After showcasing his ability to score goals and simply be a game changer against Sevilla, he has to lead the line and attempt to keep the goals flowing against Chelsea.

Sadio Mane (Left wing) - Mane completes a formidable attacking line-up for Liverpool, although fans will be hoping the other end can do their bit against a Chelsea attack that features an in-form Morata.
