Squad sheets: Liverpool v Chelsea

By beating Napoli Liverpool ran up three consecutive wins for the first time since September of last year. They did so with a hat-trick from the substitute Steven Gerrard. That dependence on him can be a concern, but there is also relief that he has such impact. With Fernando Torres enhancing the line-up further, this could be the most demanding fixture the visitors have had so far this season. The champions, however, did conserve energy in Wednesday's routine 4-1 defeat of Spartak Moscow.
