It’s the last game before another two weeks of international boredom, so let’s make it count! We need a win to arrest this two-game slide, and we need a win to keep pace with all the early leaders of what is a very congested top of the table right now.

Mason Mount is back but does not start. But Chilwell and Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek do! And Chalobah, too! Meanwhile, Livramento starts for the visitors.

Here we go!

Mendy | Rüdiger, Silva, Chalobah | Chilwell, Kovačić, Loftus-Cheek, Azpilicueta | Werner, Lukaku, Hudson-Odoi
