Chelsea’s travels on the road next take them to Anfield in a high-billed clash against a formidable Liverpool outfit who too maintain a perfect start to the new season.
The Blues put out a solid showing last time around in a convincing 2-0 win over city rivals Arsenal with goals from new signing Romelu Lukaku and the returning full-back Reece James.
Here is how Tuchel is expected to set up his Blues starting eleven for the weekend clash at Anfield –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will keep his spot between the sticks for Thomas Tuchel’s Blues with the shot-stopper having maintained two clean sheets on the run this season.
Tuchel will not be expected to tinker around with his options at the back after the previous outing’s result and neither are changes expected in the wing-back roles for Chelsea.
N’Golo Kante is backed to replace Mateo Kovacic in the centre of the park after his return from injury against Arsenal where he came off the bench in the second half.
Romelu Lukaku who found the back of the net last time around on his second debut in Chelsea colours will be leading the line come Saturday at Anfield and he is tipped to be partnered by Mason Mount and Kai Havertz up top on the pitch.
