Thomas Tuchel rings in surprise changes to his Chelsea starting XI for the final game of the season where the Blues lock horns with Watford.
Saul Niguez is handed a berth on the team sheet in what could be his final game for Chelsea as he nears the end of his season-long loan stint.
Swansong outings for Rudiger and Azpilicueta
Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta are set to turn out in their last game in the Chelsea shirt ahead of their departures this summer from the Stamford Bridge fold.
The duo are joined by the veteran Brazilian Thiago Silva in the heart of the defence with Reece James and Kenedy slotting in the wing-back roles
Havertz to lead the line
N’Golo Kante partners the Spain international Saul Niguez in the centre of the park with the latter in line to make his final outing should Chelsea not exercise their option to buy clause.
In the attacking third, Romelu Lukaku gives way for Kai Havertz to operate in the central striking role with the latter joined by Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
