Chelsea face Everton at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
The big news is that Kai Havertz gets a start up front, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner slotted in behind.
N’Golo Kante is rested, so it’s a Jovacic midfield, with Marcos Alonso and Reece James at wing back.
Kurt Zouma plays in place of the rested Antonio Rudiger.
It’s an interesting setup – although damning for Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham that they can’t get in the team. It will be very interesting to see how Werner and Havertz operate, and which plays more leading the line.
If this looks slick and works well in attack, we can imagine Thomas Tuchel preferring this kind of setup as it allows Havertz a place in the team.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Everton (kick off at 18:00 pm GMT)
