The Italian will hope to make his Premier League debut at Anfield after returning from a fruitful loan spell at Championship leaders Leicester City earlier this month.

Casadei, who also spent time on loan at Reading last season, will look to kick on at Chelsea, with Mauricio Pochettino integrating the former Inter Milan man into his squad for tonight's game.

The midfielder will sport the number 31 shirt last worn by Noni Madueke and is joined on the substitutes' bench tonight by the returning Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto.
