Christopher Nkunku's knee injury during preseason delivered Chelsea a significant blow in terms of injuries. 
After suffering the injury during a friendly encounter against Borussia Dortmund, the French international will be out for at least 16 weeks.
On Sunday, Chelsea will play Liverpool, and they'll be looking to defeat their Premier League opponent.
Many supporters may have wondered what Chelsea's ideal lineup would be without Christopher Nkunku before the game.
If you remember, Nkunku transferred from RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga to join Mauricio Pochettino's team this summer.
After winning several of their games on the preseason tour and the Premier League Summer Series in the United States, the Blues enjoyed a very successful preseason trip.
After a dismal season last year, a victory for Chelsea will simply be the ideal start for the Blues.
Chelsea struggled mightily last season, finishing 12th in the Premier League standings and being eliminated from European tournaments.
Carney Chukwuemeka, who just joined Chelsea, will be expecting to get regular starts this season.
Additionally, Mykhailo Mudryk, who signed from Shakhtar Donetsk, may be trusted by Mauricio Pochettino.
The 22-year-old failed to produce given his high price tag of £100m, therefore he didn't enjoy his first season at Stamford Bridge.
Noni Madueke, who Chelsea acquired from PSV last season, may be another offensive possibility.
