Thomas Tuchel has made 4 changes for tonight’s game against Real Madrid.
Reece James starts after being rested against Southampton, and we’ve also got what looks like a midfield 3 – Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante in the middle, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Mason Mount up top, and a back four with Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger in the middle.
Marcos Alonso at left back is a risk – but Chelsea are at that stage where they have to take risks now. If we can blitz in an early goal, we can imagine the atmosphere at the Bernabeu suddenly draining, and then anything is possible.
This formation has struggled at times, but Tuchel knows best, and there’s certainly plenty of goals in this XI.
