Bruno Saltor takes interim charge as Chelsea host Liverpool in their first match since Graham Potter’s dismissal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea: Team News<\/h2>\n

The Blues begin life after Potter, who was relieved of his duties after less than seven months in charge at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

A 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa proved the final straw for the Chelsea board, with former Brighton defender Bruno temporarily taking the reins for the visit of Liverpool.<\/p>\n

While Bruno is unlikely to make wholesale changes, he will have Raheem Sterling and Wesley Fofana available after injury, while N’Golo Kante made his return from the bench on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But the game may be too soon for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, while Eduoard Mendy, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva remain absent.<\/p>\n
