4-3-3
Kepa will retain his role between the goalposts for the visitors to Manchester with the first-choice stopper Edouard Mendy partaking in the ongoing AFCON.
Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen should be joined in the backline by Thiago Silva with the latter expected to replace Malang Sarr in the XI.
N’Golo Kante will be another star first-team name for Chelsea set for a return to the team sheet with Mateo Kovacic likely to make way for the Frenchman.
In the final third, expect both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner to retain their starting berths in the forward lineup with Mason Mount the third option at Tuchel’s disposal.
