Liverpool fans react to 'terrifying' Jurgen Klopp team decision for Chelsea game
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has had to make an unusual change to his starting line-up to face Chelsea.
Liverpool: Fabinho plays football with girlfriend in back garden
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho will start alongside Virgil van Dijk in defence with both Joe Gomez and Joel Matip out injured and some fans aren't happy. Fabinho is now Liverpool's fourth-choice centre-back after Dejan Lovren was allowed to leave this summer.
The Croatia international had to be relied upon on several occasions last year with both Gomez and Matip suffering injury problems.
And the same issue has arose just two games into the new campaign with Van Dijk being the only senior central defender fit to play.
Ozan Kabak has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield to provide cover.
But Fabinho has been called in to play alongside Van Dijk for the all-important away game at Chelsea on Sunday.

A fourth posted: "Fabinho against #CFC is our real test for the experiment to know whether we gonna need to get a new CB in or not before the window shuts."
Another wrote: "Fabinho in at CB is terrifying you will never convince me he's a valid fourth choice."
But there was undoubtedly some excitement from Liverpool fans at seeing new signing Thiago Alcantara being named on the bench.
The 29-year-old completed his £25million transfer from Bayern Munich on Friday.
