Coral’s Combined XI as Chelsea welcome Liverpool

Matt Haynes | October 29, 2015

As Chelsea prepare to host Liverpool in the Premier League, Coral compile a combined XI of players from both sides for a match which could have potentially huge implications on Jose Mourinho’s prospects. At evens, the Blues are the favourites, though new Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be keen to take the bragging rights.

Goalkeeper: Simon Mignolet

The Belgian’s form has improved slightly under new boss Klopp, who has given every player under his command a confidence boost. If he can keep a clean sheet against the Blues, it could well set the tone for the rest of his season.

Right back: Nathaniel Clyne

Centre back: Gary Cahill

Perhaps one of the better players for Chelsea so far this season, the defender dispatched in the defeat against West Ham and offers a threat from set pieces.

Centre back: Mamadou Sakho

The Frenchman on his day is exceptional and, if he can keep Chelsea’s strikeforce quiet, he can cement his position as the Reds’ number one centre half.

Left back: Alberto Moreno

A constant threat down the left for the Reds this season so far, he can trouble the Blues and if afforded space for shots on goal, he can really test Asmir Begovic.

Central midfield: James Milner
