As often tends to be the case on European nights, Chelsea’s team has started leaking out more than half an hour before it’s due.
The media seems to get access to the team sheets early in European matches, and some are unscrupulous about getting the news out.
So what have we heard? Well the first piece of big news is that Romelu Lukaku is back on the bench for Chelsea after more than a month out.
Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic are both slated to start, and CHO is apparently playing on the left wing. That means it’s likely that Pulisic plays as a false 9.
Trevoh Chalobah keeps his place in the first team, which is great to hear. He plays at the back with Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger in an unchanged 3.
Midfielder Jorginho is playing despite cramping up at the end of the weekend’s game, presumably alongside N’Golo Kante
