This area in particular is stacked with talent and players normally put up against each other for the debate of who is the best in their respective position.

It is so stacked for both clubs, predicting who starts for either team is quite difficult. One thing is certain, whatever midfield wins the battle in the middle of the park, will go on to win this game.

A Mason Mount and Fabinho battle should be on today. A Jordan Henderson and Mateo Kovacic duel could be one of the many fights as well. Or will it be Thiago and N’Golo Kante? Or Kante and Keita? Or will it be a surprising midfield selection to throw us all off, including the opposing manager?

Will Jorginho prove he is the best number 6 in the house when he goes up against the ever-reliable Fabinho? Like TAA and RJ fights for bragging rights, so do these two.

Liverpool predicted midfield: Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Keita

Chelsea’s predicted midfield: Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Kovacic

Who is winning the battle in the middle of the pitch?
