Chelsea face Man City at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
Maurizio Sarri had some big calls to make after a disappointing midweek effort away at Wolves, and he’s not ducked out on some big calls.
While the rest of the lineup has returned to the preferred first XI, Sarri has gone for Eden Hazard as a false 9 up front.
That means he plays in a trident with Pedro and Willian out wide of him, although the three will probably interchange through the game.
It’s a big change, and shows just how seriously Sarri has taken this slump in form. Will it work? We’ll find out in about an hour…
