Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Liverpool.

Chelsea will aim to maintain their 100% start to the Premier League season when they make the journey to take on Liverpool on Saturday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
