Timo Werner (£9.5m) is back in the Chelsea line-up following his midweek rest in the Champions League.

The former RB Leipzig forward is deployed on the left-hand side of the attack again, this time supporting Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) who found the net four times against Sevilla.

That sees Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) drop to the bench while Hakim Ziyech (£8.3m) provides width on the other flank.

Kai Havertz (£8.3m) and Mason Mount (£6.8m) are in central midfield with N’Golo Kanté (£4.9m) while the back-four lines up as we have come to expect on Chelsea’s recent run of three clean sheets in four.

Ben Chilwell (£6.2m) and Reece James (£5.2m) are the left and right full-back respectively, stationed either side of Kurt Zouma (£5.6m) and Thiago Silva (£5.5m).

Leeds are as we would expect them as well. Marcelo Bielsa has gone with a 4-1-4-1 formation once again with what looks like Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) in a central midfield role and Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) at left-back, considering wingers Jack Harrison (£5.5m) and Raphinha (£5.4m) are both in the starting line-up.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): E Mendy; Chilwell, T Silva, Zouma, R James; Mount, Kanté, Havertz; Werner, Giroud, Ziyech.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ziyech out going to lead to a real convergence of midfield choices now in the template

    • DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Asif selling Ziyech was already made easy, the injury makes things 10x easier 🙂

    • Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

        • Royal5
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I need to downgrade Vardy to afford that.

          1. Forgetmeknot
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Same , but even if he scores a hat trick think I’ll still do it

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

      5. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hate to say it but absolutely nowhere to hide for Ziyech owners

        1. PepTalk
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          What does that even mean in a context of an unfortunate injury?

      6. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Would love to see the stats of this first 30 mins. I reckon it will have the highest average player speed of all games so far this season. Frenetic stuff from both sides.

      7. Superflymonk
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        How the heck is Bruno on 3 baps!!! Something is seriously wrong with the BPS system. It's a joke just like VAR.

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          He created about a million chances

      8. Phlajo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Ziyech + DCL to Son + Son?

        Would be for a hit. Priced out tomorrow.

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            True. Wilson and Son though.

      12. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Chilwell and James should share set piece duties now?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago
