Chelsea v LFC: Torres starts, Suarez sub, Carra returns

Fernando Torres starts for Chelsea as he makes his debut against his former side Liverpool at Stamford Bridge this afternoon (4pm kick off).

His replacement at Liverpool Luis Suarez is named on the bench as Kenny Dalglish sticks with Dirk Kuyt up front.

Chelsea name Torres up front alongside Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba.
