      Assuming Silva plays against Juve mid week, I'd "suggest" Christensen will start next weekend.

      Assuming Silva has been picked for Brazil, I'd again "suggest" Christensen will start after the International break.

      So likely to start the next 2, but I'm uncomfortable predicting Tuchel. Don't want to mislead anyone.
