Timo Werner (£9.2m) has been benched in Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge of Chelsea, with Oliver Giroud (£6.7m) starting up-front.

Kai Havertz (£8.2m) starts behind Giroud, with Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) and Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) on the wings.

Jorginho (£4.7m) is also recalled to the side in central midfield, alongside Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m).

Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) lines-up at full-back with Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.6m) recalled opposite. Thiago Silva (£5.6m) and Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) start at centre-back.

Edouard Mendy (£5.1m) continues to keep Kepa (£4.7m) out of the team.

Wolves’ boss Nuno Espirito Santo has reverted back to his tried and tested back three for tonight’s game, with midfielders Adama Traore (£6.0m) and Pedro Neto (£5.9m) lining up as a front two.

Playing in behind them is a returning Daniel Podence (£5.3m). Wolves’ midfield two consists of Ruben Neves (£5.2m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.7m).

Nelson Semedo (£5.3m) and Rayan Ait-Nouri (£5.0m) start at wing-back, with Willy Boly (£5.4m), Conor Coady (£4.8m), and Max Kilman (£4.0m) at centre-half.

Rui Patricio (£5.4m) lines up in goal.

Burnley will be hoping to build on their win at Anfield with Chris Wood (£6.2m) and Jay Rodriguez (£5.8m) starting up front.

Robbie Brady (£5.0m) and Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) start on the wings for Burnley, with Ashley Westwood (£5.3m) and Josh Brownhill (£4.9m) in the middle.

James Tarkowski (£5.3m) and Ben Mee (£4.9m) continue their impressive partnership at centre-back, with Matt Lowton (£4.4m) and Erik Pieters (£4.3m) at full-back.

Nick Pope (£5.4m) starts in goal, and has delivered five double-digit point hauls already this season.

Ollie Watkins (£6.1m) will be hoping for more of the same after breaking his goal drought against Newcastle.

Lining up behind Watkins in Villa’s customary 4-2-3-1 is Ross Barkley (£5.9m), Jack Grealish (£7.7m) and Bertrand Traore (£5.9m).

John McGinn (£5.5m) and Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) are Villa’s midfield two, with new signing Morgan Sanson not included.

Dean Smith keeps the same backline that featured in Villa’s win over Newcastle with Tyrone Mings (£5.4m) and Ezri Konsa (£4.7m) at centre-back, and Matt Targett (£4.7m) and Matty Cash (£5.0m) at full-back.

Emiliano Martinez (£5.1m) remains in goal.

Chelsea XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Thiago Silva, Chilwell; Kovacic, Jorginho, Ziyech, Havertz, Hudson-Odoi; Giroud

    Tuchel’s tactic may be to make everyone switch over to the Burnley game including the Wolves players

            Seems you're the one targeting random users on the website for abuse. You have a reputation for it. Very sad.

        Such an annoying person isn’t he, be glad when the season is over just to stop my yawns

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Nah, just think he may have a little thing for Chris Wood.

          1. BenDavies
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            😉

              • 14 Years

  13. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years

    Really regret choosing to watch the Chelsea game. What an earth is up with Burnley?

  14. Calvin Valance
    • 17 Years

    Thanks Jorginho for being so calm and giving me a nice sleep

  15. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How have Aston Villa not won this one! Bonkers

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Similar to the West Ham game...should never have lost that one either

  16. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Grealish to Watkins plzzzzzzzzz

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    15pt BB in a DGW. Currently 22pts and counting this week

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      That’s not bad on either account...

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Just irritating with Pieters Soucek returning this week but nailed to my bench when I got bugger all from the actual BB last week

  18. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Shitkins get involved.

  19. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Burnley not a team to target to pick defence against anymore?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Just the keeper I'd say for save points

      1. ivantys
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Was targeting teams playing against them for CS. Hopefully just a one off game.

  20. Oggle22

    Martinez
    Konsa Stones Cancelo
    Salah Son Bruno Foden
    Kane Antonio Bamford

    Steele Soucek Mitchell Holding

    Bamford to Watkins?

    Bamford and Foden to Watkins and gundo -4

    Convinced myself and a few on here siad foden to gundo was to sideways and Foden would get returns

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford to DCL.

  21. Sif
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If Burnley were the walk-over side everyone here thinks they should be they wouldn't still be in the league after 5 years. Adjust your expectations.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      This!

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      The Burnley formula:

      Phase 1: Start crap - everyone thinks "ah finally they're gonna go down"

      Phase 2: Win a few games to pull away from trouble

      Phase 3: Shut up shop - Pope averages 10 ppg

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Phase 4: Post a net profit and run a club responsibly

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How does Jorginho get a game? Useless player

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Tuchel wanted to buy him for PSG. He will play a lot.

  23. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pope is a crazy good keeper

  24. @persecuted_by_mods
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Mount subbed on

  25. ivantys
    • 5 Years

    Trossard missing big chance like his bread and butter

  26. FPL Scoop

    • 9 Years

    Get another goal Watkins ffs.

    Or at least another save, Emi.....

  27. MGD
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is Wood winning goal added to baps already or is it added afterwards?

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Added immediately

      1. MGD
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. New this season right?

    Chilwell was awful going forward today. I wonder if he will fit into this attacking wing back system of tuchel
