Liverpool have struggled in the last week.

Another pair of Premier League heavy-hitters will take to the pitch on Saturday as Liverpool travel to Chelsea, though neither team is exactly performing like the regional giants they are usually positioned to be. Each side has hit a patch of middling form, which adds several layers of uncertainty to the clash at Stamford Bridge.

U.S. men’s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino has selected 26 players for what might be the first look at his top squad before next summer’s World Cup.
