Mason Mount (ÂŖ6.8m) finds himself on the Chelsea bench for the daunting visit to Manchester City this afternoon.
With a recent injury to Callum Hudson-Odoi (ÂŖ5.8m) and Christian Pulisic (ÂŖ7.4m) carrying a hip problem, it had been though that Mount might be afforded a start in the front-three.
However, Frank Lampard has named Pulisic and Willian (ÂŖ7.1m) either side of Tammy Abraham (ÂŖ8.0m).
In anticipation of Manchester City’s powerful attack, he has gone with a 4-3-3 formation featuring Jorginho (ÂŖ5.1m), Mateo KovaÄiÄ (ÂŖ5.3m) and N’Golo KantÊ (ÂŖ5.0m) in the midfield trio.
For the third match in a row, Emerson Palmieri (ÂŖ5.5m) starts at left-back.
Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling (ÂŖ12.0m) and Sergio Aguero (ÂŖ12.0m) are both in Manchester City’s front-three, joined by Riyad Mahrez (ÂŖ8.3m) in light of Bernardo Silva‘s (ÂŖ7.9m) suspension.
For the first time since Gameweek 10, Benjamin Mendy (ÂŖ5.8m) and Joao Cancelo (ÂŖ5.3m) are named in the full-back positions while John Stones (ÂŖ5.3m) and Fernandinho (ÂŖ5.2m) are trusted in the middle of the defence.
Line-ups
Man City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Fernandinho, Stones, Cancelo; Rodrigo, D Silva, De Bruyne; Sterling, Aguero, Mahrez.
Chelsea XI: Kepa; Emerson, Tomori, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Kovacic, Jorginho, KantÊ; Pulisic, Abraham, Willian.
