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.

    Havertz is the weakest link?

    Rafinha reminds me of Di Maria. Anyone else?

    When I see wingers like raphinha running at defenders and showing good control I wonder how arsenal ended up with Pepe!

  8. Nightcrawler

    Ziyech doesnt look like he has many goals in him. For 8m + and a precious midfield spot its just not going to be worth it

  9. _Ninja_

  19. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Giroud essential?

  20. Agamenmon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What ‘s Raphinha playing like, is he worst investing in?

  21. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This is why Giroud should have always started ahead of Tammy, who is useless

    Ah the beauty of having attacking full backs. Thanks Reecey. Softens the blow of the double concession of the clean sheet!!

  24. Bobby Digital
