Thomas Tuchel has picked the same front 3 who played against Real Madrid to face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi final today.
If Chelsea had qualified in midweek his thinking might have been a little different, but as it stands this competition is our best chance of winning a trophy, and Tuchel has picked his strongest side available, with a couple of tweaks for the most fatigued players.
It means another benching for Romelu Lukaku, who might otherwise have been hoping he was going to get a game today at Wembley, presenting a big chance to earn his manager’s faith back.
As it stands it’s Havertz out there, with another chance to come up trumps in big games, as he has been making a habit of doing in his two seasons at Chelsea.
This front 3 has picked up some chemistry in the last couple of games, and it will be interesting to see if they can break down a well organised Palace side with their movement.
