Georginio Wijnaldum hoping win over Sheffield United has given Liverpool timely confidence boost as Jurgen Klopp looks to welcome back Diogo Jota and Fabinho for Chelsea clash

Georginio Wijnaldum hopes Liverpool's win over Sheffield United can provide a timely confidence boost going into their huge top-four showdown with Chelsea in midweek.

Victory at Bramall Lane brought an end to a miserable run of four straight league defeats for the Reds, a period that not only put an end to their title defence but also leaves them in a battle to secure a place in the Champions League next season.

Despite fielding their 14th different centre back partnership in the league this season, and missing first choice goalkeeper Alisson, Liverpool kept their first clean sheet in eight Premier League matches.
