Christian Pulisic will have a new look when he takes to the field against Manchester City.
Chelsea take on Pep Guardiola's side in the Premier League on Sunday, hoping for victory to end a run of just one win in five games.
The Blues have slipped to sixth place in the Premier League as a result of their blip in form, with questions starting to be asked about Frank Lampard and his position as head coach.
Lampard was backed in the transfer market to the tune of more than £200million in the summer, with the likes of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell and Hakim Ziyech signing.
Those names, along with a number of others, were added to Christian Pulisic, who had joined from Borussia Dortmund a year earlier for £58million.
Pulisic has starred in a Blue shirt since making the move from the Bundesliga, and fans will notice a change in him at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The American has shaved his beard.
And he had revealed that he did so for his grandmother.Speaking about the style change, he said: "I really did like the beard to be honest. In the end in came down to my grandma. I had a conversation with her. She said 'You need to shave the beard! You look so handsome without it' and that was enough for me. I have to do it."
Chelsea fans have been reacting to the news on Twitter.
