Chelsea are next up against the Premier League holders Manchester City in a high-billed clash set to be played out at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel’s men booked their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup after edging out Aston Villa in a tense penalty shootout earlier this week.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side on Saturday –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy faces a race against time to prove his fitness and Kepa could be in line to start in goal once again come Saturday for the Blues.
There could be a major overhaul of the defensive line for Chelsea with the likes of Trevor Chalobah and Malang Sarr, who started the last match, dropping down to the bench to make way for Rudiger and Co.
N’Golo Kante will be backed to retain his role in the centre of the park for Chelsea but new signing Saul will most likely cede his spot on the starting teamsheet to Jorginho.
Despite getting on the scoresheet last time around, Timo Werner will be expected to make way for the in-form Romelu Lukaku who will lead the line.
