We don’t know how he does it, but we’re given up on doubting C345Sam, who always gets early team news and always gets it right.
According to him, Chelsea are going with a front 3 of Mudryk, Felix and Havertz today.
With Raheem Sterling out, Christian Pulisic was preferred in a couple of games before the break, but perhaps because of potential fatigue on his end after an intense international break with the USA, Mudryk gets the nod in the front 3 today.
Breaking: Kai Havertz, Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk all start for #Chelsea against Aston Villa.

It’s an interesting vote of confidence in the Ukraine winger, who had multiple long articles about his struggles with his start to life in the Premier League published during the break.
Fans, by and large, will be delighted. They would rather see their shiny new toy in action than a player like Pulisic, who looks likely to be sold this summer.
This is a big chance for our January signing to make his mark.
