CB – Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva

There will be doubts over the Brazilian’s selection as the 36-year-old does find it hard to play two games in a week, considering his recent lengthy spell out with a muscular injury.

Tuchel could well go with either Christensen or Kurt Zouma in the middle of the three-man defence, but Silva’s experience of playing in big Champions League games may lead to him starting.
