All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge come Sunday afternoon as Fernando Torres is set to be handed a debut against his former teammates.

Chelsea come into the game on the back of the three-match winning run, with deadline day signings bringing a new air of confidence to the club.

Fernando Torres is expected to start the match, while David Luiz should settle for a place on the bench. Alex, Benayoun and Zhirkov remain on the sidelines.

Liverpool, on the other hand, won’t be too downhearted by Torres’ departure if Luis Suarez continues his scoring form, while the Reds are also eagerly awaiting the debut of Andy Carroll.

Following three successive victories, the Reds are now in 7th and full of confidence, so everything is set for a fiery encounter at Stamford Bridge.

Luis Suarez is set to start after scoring on his debut, but Andy Carroll and Jay Spearing are out injured. Joe Cole and Christian Poulsen remain injury doubts.

Fernando Torres is 2.37 (11/8) at Betfair to score against his former team, while Luis Suarez is 3.40 (12/5) to continue his scoring run at Sportingbet.
