Only Ron Harris (795), Peter Bonetti (729) and Frank Lampard (633) have played in more Chelsea games than Terry.
David Luiz started in midfield, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, Willian and Lampard drafted into a side showing four changes following the Boxing Day defeat of Swansea, with former Reds striker Fernando Torres on the bench.
Luis Suarez, who had 19 goals in 13 Premier League games entering the match and bit Branislav Ivanovic in the most recent match between the sides, was up front for a Liverpool side showing one change from the loss at Manchester City, with Daniel Agger recalled in defence.
