N’Golo Kanté’s return to Chelsea’s midfield is certainly the biggest (and best) news, and he joins a three-man midfield for Chelsea in a 3-5-2 look, similar to how the Blues lined up against Atlético Madrid. There is also Andreas Christensen getting the nod over David Luiz, who’s been carrying a minor injury and looks to have missed out completely on this game because of it.

UPDATE: Conte says it was a tactical decision and wanted to give a young player like Ampadu the spot on the bench instead.

Meanwhile, former Chelsea boss José Mourinho is opting to go with the same 3-4-1-2 tactic and line-up that saw his side beat Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

It will be a clash for the ages.

COME ON, CHELSEA!
