Chelsea welcome a high-flying Newcastle United side to Stamford Bridge over the weekend with the hosts eyeing another three points on the trot.
Thomas Tuchel’s men last faced Norwich City in league action midweek with goals from Trevoh Chalobah, Mason Mount and Kai Havertz doing the job.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Newcastle –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will assume his goalkeeping duties as usual for the home side with the boss Thomas Tuchel expected to ring in one major change to his backline.
German centre-back Antonio Rudiger should be in line for a recall into the XI at the likely expense of Trevoh Chalobah who is set to drop out.
Malang Sarr is expected to get a rare berth on the starting team sheet with midfield man Saul Niguez deputising in the left-wing back role last time around.
In the final third, goalscorers Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are backed to retain their spots in the XI with Romelu Lukaku poised for a return to lead the line.
