Chelsea face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
Thomas Tuchel’s formation experiments continue, and we’re not sure what to make of this selection. There were rumours that Andreas Christensen was going to play at right back, and if that’s true, it means it’s a back four of Christensen, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger and Malang Sarr at left back.
The midfield is N’Golo Kante and Jorginho, with Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech apparently playing out wide. This formation has tended to suit Ziyech, and he should be well rested after not playing much in our last couple of games.
With Mason Mount out injured, Kai Havertz partners Romelu Lukaku up top.
442 with four centre backs – this isn’t something we’ve seen a lot of from Chelsea over the years.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Crystal Palace (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT)
