Liverpool vs Chelsea
England – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Kick-off at 20:15 UK/ 21:15 CET
Venue: Anfield.
Liverpool midfielder James Milner should be fit to return to the team for the final home game of the season against Chelsea.
The 34-year-old missed the last two games - a draw with Burnley and Arsenal defeat - with a minor muscle problem.
After resting for a week and with a record of unbeaten home league three years to preserve, manager Jürgen Klopp is likely to field his strongest available line, with only Joel Matip (foot) and Jordan Henderson (knee) excluded .
N'Golo Kante will miss the trip to Chelsea at Anfield.
The French midfielder is still sidelined with a hamstring problem and will not be available to face the Reds.
Kante has undergone its last edition hamstring in the 3-0 win over Watford on July 4 and the trip Anfield will be the fifth game he missed.

Head To Head
This will be the fourth meeting between these two sides this season, with Liverpool after beating Chelsea in the final of the UEFA Cup and Super at Stamford Bridge in the league, but Chelsea have beaten Liverpool in the FA Cup in March.
Liverpool has not made the Premier League over Chelsea for two 2011-12, but have also not lost a league game the Blues at Anfield since 2014.
Overall, these two parties have clashed 185 times before, with Liverpool the first global assessment in head-to-head with 80 victories to 64.
Prediction Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea
Liverpool is a team much more difficult to predict today that they have been for most of this season, and there is a surprise to see them lose points as they wrapped the title up.
That said, it's hard to look beyond such a long unbeaten at Anfield if, while Chelsea need much more than a victory, we can see the shared spoils.
