Christian Pulisic is recalled into the eleven for Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel’s men take on Leeds United in what promises to be a high-octane clash between two top teams.
The American international had been recently sidelined in light of Tuchel taking over the managerial reigns from Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge and with speculation rife over his long-term future for the Blues, the Chelsea boss has decided to hand a rare outing to Pulisic at the expense of Timo Werner.
Werner drops out of the XI on the back of a lacklustre set of displays in front of the goal, with Tuchel instead choosing to depend upon Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz as his attacking options for the Elland Road showdown.
Recalls are also issues to N’Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell after the duo were benched for the recent win over Everton earlier this week.
Kurt Zouma is also relegated back amongst the substitutes, with Antonio Rudiger replacing the Frenchman in the heart of the Chelsea backline.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
