As expected, Thomas Tuchel has rung the changes as Chelsea take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup third round at Stamford Bridge.
In fact, there are only one player who keep their place from Sunday's win against Spurs in north London.. That is goalkeeper Kepa, who makes a second straight start in place of the injured Edouard Mendy.
The back five remains in place and it comprises of Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Malang Sarr, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
In midfield, N'Golo Kante starts and captains the side after making his return from injury against Spurs at the weekend. He is partnered by Saul Niguez in midfield, who makes his second start for the club.
He will be hoping his second appearance goes better than his first, which was against Villa in the league ten days ago when he was hooked at half time after a real struggle and replaced by Jorginho.
The front three is as predicted by football.london this morning with Timo Werner leading the line. He is joined up top by Hakim Ziyech and, we think, Ruben Loftus-Cheek in an advanced position.
Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Ross Barkley and Thiago Silva all make the bench. As does under 23 defender Xavier Mbuyamba, who trained with the first team this weekl ahead of the game.
Chelsea team: Kepa, James, Chalobah, Sarr, Hudson-Odoi, Kante, Saul, Chilwell, Ziyech, Werner, Loftus-Cheek.
