Kepa starts between the sticks for Chelsea and Antonio Rudiger returns to the three-man backline with the Blues eyeing the FA Cup trophy in the matchup that sets them against Leicester City.
Changes in the defence for the Blues
Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicuetta retain their spots in the XI from the side that came out second best to Arsenal in league action earlier this week and the new entrant is Antonio Rudiger who missed last time around.
Kurt Zouma drops down to the bench to make way for Rudiger with Thomas Tuchel also opting to draft Marcos Alonso in the left wing-back role ahead of Ben Chilwell.
Pulisic relegated to the bench, Ziyech comes in
Both Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic are amongst the substitutes for today’s Wembley showdown in the aftermath of their under-fire showing against Arsenal at the Bridge.
Hakim Ziyech comes into the frontline for Tuchel’s side and Timo Werner occupies the central striking role hoping to find the back of the net.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Champions League fixture:
