Premier League result: Axel Disasi cancels out Luis Diaz's opener as Chelsea draw with Liverpool in Mauricio Pochettino's first match in charge

IF you believe Social Media, it has been exclusively revealed a thousand times over during the past 48 hours, but as it stands, nothing is in place.

Poch was asked about new recruits in his pre-match press conference, but remained tight-lipped.

"I played also as a nine and I played also as an eight, so two different positions, but to be honest I liked it. I just have to develop every day and improve myself in both positions – it is good for me to become a better player. I think from nature I am more like an attacking player so will have to say [my favourite position] is up front."

Former Brighton stopper Robert Sanchez makes his Blues bow in goal with Kepa expected to be heading for Real Madrid.

Another summer addition, Axel Disasi comes into what appears to be a five-man defence, with Levi Colwill also making his first competitive appearance for the club.

Nicolas Jackson leads the attack along with former LFC star Raheem Sterling.

There’s no surprise to see Jurgen Klopp give the nod to new midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

The visitors have gone with four attackers in the side with the likelihood that Cody Gakpo will feature in an advanced midfield role behind Mo Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.

CONFIRMED TEAMS – CHELSEA: Sanchez, Disasi, Colwill, Silva, James, Chilwell, Fernandez, Gallagher, Sterling, Chukwuemeka, Jackson ... Subs: Bergstrom, Cucurella, Mudryk, Madueke, Ugochukwu, Santos, Gusto, Maatsen, Burstow. /// LIVERPOOL: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Jota, Salah, Diaz...
