Thomas Tuchel will not be on the sidelines following his suspension due to his confrontation with Antonio Conte but he will have a difficult starting decision Ben Chilwell or Marc Cucurella. Both have had good starts to the season but when Cucurella isn’t playing in central defence, one has to start on the bench.
With Leeds likely to leave space in the final third, this could be a good time to try something different in attack Kai Havertz has fought. Armando Broja will miss the game but if Callum Hudson-Odoi not for sale, could he snag a rare start? Chelsea must contain Jack Harrison and Rodrigo who have had a strong start to the season and that will only get harder with N’Golo Kante out injured. Kalidou Koulibaly will help with that, but the Blues might be wise to contain Harrison in a similar way Heung Min son was bagged last week.
