Blues defence sees one change

I predict that Thomas Tuchel will lineup with a back three again. I mean, there’s no reason to change it since it’s been working well. However, there will be one change.

Given that Thiago Silva missed out on the last match against Manchester United, I can only assume he’ll be ready to start this match. If my assumption is correct, Tuchel will start him. Alongside him will likely be Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta, meaning Andreas Christensen will drop to the bench. It’ll be a complete back three for Tuchel.
