Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea may not have been active in the transfer window this month like many expected, but the squad he will have available to face Liverpool could well be very different to that of recent weeks. Despite not making any incoming transfers this month it has been a largely positive period.

For Pochettino it has also come without one of his…
