Thomas Tuchel has named his starting lineup for the FA Cup final and it shows a number changes from the midweek defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League.
In defence, Antonio Rudiger is back having been rested in midweek and he replaces Kurt Zouma. Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta make up the three centre backs for Chelsea.
Reece James lines up at right wing-back with Marcos Alonso preferred on the left flank to Ben Chilwell.
In midfield, N’Golo Kante starts as Tuchel confirmed he would during his press conference and Jorginho also keeps his place despite his howler and below par showing against the Gunners.
Billy Gilmour is the player to make way from the midfield.
Up front, Timo Werner is recalled having been rested on Tuesday night. Hakim Ziyech, scorer of the winner in the semi final against Man City, also starts. Kai Havertz is named on the bench.
As Tuchel said in his pre-match press conference and after the Arsenal loss, Kepa is in goal for Chelsea this afternoon having started all of the FA Cup games so far this season.
Chelsea: Kepa; James, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Thiago Silva; Jorginho, Kante; Mount, Ziyech, Werner.
