Chelsea - despite their 2-2 draw away at Swansea last weekend - have had a brilliant start under new manager Antonio Conte and remain undefeated in all competitions this season.

The Blues will hope to continue in their rich vein of form tomorrow night as they take on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in what will be their biggest challenge of the season so far.

Liverpool arrive in London off the back of a terrific 4-1 victory over Leicester at Anfield in which Jurgen Klopp's men swept aside the reigning Premier League Champions thanks to two goals from Brazilian Firmino, and further strikes from Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana.

The Merseyside outfit, however, have been unpredictable this season. Another terrific display on the opening day against Arsenal was followed immediately by a loss to newly promoted Burnley and a stalemate draw at White Hart Lane with Tottenham. On the back of last weekend's win, however, Liverpool will go to the Bridge with plenty of confidence.

If Chelsea are to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, they will definitely need their best XI out on show on Friday night, especially these three who have proven themselves to be indispensable so far this campaign...

Diego Costa

Chelsea's man of the moment in undoubtedly this man. The fiery forward scored both in last weekend's thrilling draw, which took his total to the season to 4 already, and he will be expecting to add to that on Friday night. The Spain star also scored twice on international duty and looks a man who has his confidence back. Antonio Conte appears to be getting the best out of him and has managed to calm the beast slightly too having 'warned him' over his behaviour on the pitch. Good job Chelsea didn't sell him in the summer.

N'Golo Kante

The new man in midfield has been indispensable since his arrival from champions Leicester City for a fee of around £32 million. Many are saying the Blues seem to have found themselves the 'Makelele replacement' they have so long craved, but Kante is much a different player to the great Makelele. Fantastic at breaking up the play, and setting others on the counter, Kante also gets forward and is more than comfortable with the ball under pressure in tight situations, whether in his own or the opposition half.

Eden Hazard

Absolutely back to his sparkling best, it is a joy to see the Belgian superstar once again on top of his game. It must be one of the most frightening sights (besides Diego Costa) to have Eden Hazard running at you with the ball, as the former Lille man seamlessly glides past opponents as if they are not even there with the ball almost completely glued to his boots. Still - in my humble opinion - the best player in the Premier League, Hazard is unstoppable at his best.
