RWB – Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Loftus-Cheek

Putting Cesar Azpilicueta directly up against Gabriel Martinelli in a back four would be a recipe for disaster so a switch to a three-man backline is likely.

With Reece James still out injured, Loftus-Cheek may be called upon to play out of position once again. He did not cover himself in glory with his own goal versus Brighton so he will be looking to improve this weekend.
