Chelsea welcome title rivals Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday in what promises to be a high-octane clash between the two teams gunning for the Premier League crown.
Thomas Tuchel’s men were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at home against Brighton last time around adding to their woes in keeping pace with Manchester City at the summit.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Liverpool –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will start between the sticks for the west Londoners with Tuchel in line to be forced to make changes in his backline.
Andreas Christensen’s injury scare against Brighton should mean a recall back to the starting XI for Trevoh Chalobah in the centre-back role alongside Antonio Rudiger and Thiago Silva.
Reece James’ hamstring injury will sideline him from the upcoming game and Cesar Azpilicueta is the likely option to provide cover in the right wing-back slot with Marcos Alonso on the opposite flank.
Romelu Lukaku is set to lead the line once again with the Belgian expected to be partnered up top by Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic.
