Chelsea team confirmed vs Man City: Christian Pulisic starts with Ruben Loftus-Cheek out

Chelsea are looking to grab another three points tonight as they host Manchester City in the Premier League.

It's the first game at Stamford Bridge after the lockdown and will no doubt be a strange feeling for the players to have no fans in the stands.

The Blues got back under way with an important 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, but Pep Guardiola's side will certainly be a tougher test for Chelsea to deal with.

Frank Lampard has brought Christian Pulisic back into the starting XI, leaving Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the bench for the game.

One of the disappointing parts of Sunday was conceding from a set piece, and Lampard will be hoping that his players can organise themselves better tonight.

Here is the full Chelsea team:

Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso; Kante, Mount, Barkley, Willian, Giroud, Pulisic.

Subs: Caballero, Zouma, James, Jorginho, Gilmour, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Abraham.
