Both Chelsea and Manchester City will have their attacks led by midfielder players at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Eden Hazard (£10.9m) has been deployed in the false-nine position for the Blues, flanked by Pedro (£6.3m) and Willian (£7.3m). After recent performances Olivier Giroud (£7.7m) is on the bench while and Álvaro Morata (£8.6m) is absent from the matchday squad entirely.

Marcos Alonso (£7.1m) keeps his place at left-back while Mateo Kovacic (£5.8m) is preferred to Ross Barkley (£5.7m) once again.

It’s Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) who plays up front for Manchester City this evening, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) and Leroy Sané (£9.4m) joining him in the front three.

Gabriel Jesus (£10.1m) drops to the bench while David Silva (£8.7m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) retain their places in central midfield.

In defence, Aymeric Laporte (£6.1m) comes back into the side and is paired with John Stones (£5.3m) at centre-back, Fabian Delph (£5.3m) and Kyle Walker (£6.5m) in the wide areas.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Luiz, Rudiger, Azpilucueta; Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic; Willian, Pedro; Hazard.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Delph; Fernandinho, David Silva, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Sané; Sterling.

    Alonso first on the bench.

    Hoping that Son does it for Spurs so Kane can rest the full match

    This game is like a big F U to the media for Sarri. First Kante, who was savaged for playing more attacking football scores and Luiz, often criticised for silly errors, hasn't done much wrong and now scored too.

    Rough:
    Kept Haz+Alonso+Robbo, and got Felipe Anderson in

    Smooth:
    Sold Salah (for Felipe though) to fund Kane, and captained Auba
