RB – Reece James
With Ben Chilwell unlikely to be fit to start the season due to a heel injury, it’s possible that captain Cesar Azpilicueta will be drafted in to play on the left-hand side for the first game.
James will offer a greater edge in the final third of the pitch, and he will be hoping to dislodge the Spaniard as the regular right-back as the season goes on.
