Philippe Coutinho returns for Chelsea test
Philippe Coutinho returns to the Liverpool starting XI for this evening's Premier League encounter with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The No.10 featured from the bench as champions Leicester City were defeated 4-1 last time out, but is selected from the off for tonight's game in the capital.
He comes in for fellow Brazilian Roberto Firmino, who is absent through a minor groin strain.
Dejan Lovren is also recalled in the centre of defence after overcoming the facial injury that ruled him out of the victory over the Foxes.
Jürgen Klopp's team is otherwise unchanged as the Reds seek a repeat of last season's league victory at the Bridge.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Matip, Lovren, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Coutinho, Mane, Sturridge. Substitutes: Karius, Lucas, Stewart, Origi, Moreno, Grujic, Ejaria.
