Mohamed Salah was left on the bench, his third successive game out of the starting XI, in a further sign that head coach Arne Slot has lost faith in the attacker. The 33-year-old had started every Premier League game under Slot until last week’s meeting with West Ham but with Liverpool’s form suffering, Salah has been demoted.

The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea's Premier League clash against Leeds United in the Premier League.
