Chelsea face Leeds at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
Let’s break it down.
Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Benoit Badiashile are ALL in. As is Ben Chilwell.
So it’s either a back 3 with Loftus-Cheek at right wing back, or it’s a back four with one of those centre-backs at right back.
In midfield it’s Enzo and Kovacic (and Loftus-Cheek, if it’s a back four), with a front 3 of Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling flanking Kai Havertz.
Reece James’ absence is the biggest point of interest here, and it will be interesting to see if that’s prompted a change in formation as we’ve suspected. The RLC wing back feature is something Tuchel used more often than Potter, but today could be the chance to break a habit.
Equally, an Enzo, Kova, RLC midfield oozes class.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Leeds (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT)

I do not make sense of picking Havertz,it must be better using Felix as a false number 9 and selecting one of the young wingers.
