Table-toppers Chelsea will play hosts to bitter rivals Manchester United in the weekend action in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues last turned out against Serie A bigwigs Juventus in the midweek Champions League outing which turned out to be a thumping 4-0 win for Thomas Tuchel’s men.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against United –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy is backed to retain his role between the sticks but we do expect Thomas Tuchel to finally ring in changes to his backline.
Trevoh Chalobah and Thiago Silva will be in line to drop out to make way for Andreas Christensen and the skipper Cesar Azpilicueta to come in alongside the familiar face of Antonio Rudiger.
N’Golo Kante was an injury concern for Chelsea following the Juventus clash and should the Frenchman not be fully fit, Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be in the mix to make the team sheet.
Up top on the pitch, Timo Werner will be vying for a starting role after coming off the bench to score last time around which could mean a drop down to the bench for Hakim Ziyech.
