Both Chelsea and Manchester City will have their attacks led by midfielder players at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Eden Hazard (£10.9m) has been deployed in the false-nine position for the Blues, flanked by Pedro (£6.3m) and Willian (£7.3m). After recent performances Olivier Giroud (£7.7m) is on the bench while and Álvaro Morata (£8.6m) is absent from the matchday squad entirely.

Marcos Alonso (£7.1m) keeps his place at left-back while Mateo Kovacic (£5.8m) is preferred to Ross Barkley (£5.7m) once again.

It’s Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) who plays up front for Manchester City this evening, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) and Leroy Sané (£9.4m) joining him in the front three.

Gabriel Jesus (£10.1m) drops to the bench while David Silva (£8.7m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) retain their places in central midfield.

In defence, Aymeric Laporte (£6.1m) comes back into the side and is paired with John Stones (£5.3m) at centre-back, Fabian Delph (£5.3m) and Kyle Walker (£6.5m) in the wide areas.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Luiz, Rudiger, Azpilucueta; Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic; Willian, Pedro; Hazard.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Delph; Fernandinho, David Silva, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Sané; Sterling.

        Fear is that Salah has finally got into scintillating form as I lose him and can’t really afford to get him back!
