Right-wing Forward: Hakim Ziyech
Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech looks to have hit form for Chelsea with Champions League football around the corner. The left-footed winger seems to be hitting a rich vein of form with two goals and four assists in his last six starts for the side.
The talented winger has struggled for form and fitness since moving to London from Ajax, but now seems to be in a good place.
Ziyech's ability to find a man with his brilliant passing will cause problems for Zenit in their Champions League match. His recent form has also restored a measure of confidence in his game and has seen him attempt some audacious shots and passes.
Ziyech has developed a knack for scoring in important matches in the Champions League for Chelsea.
One of the earliest noticeable features of Ziyech's game at Chelsea was his ability to combine to devastating effect with Reece James. If both men can utilize this connection, Zenit will find it difficult to cope with them on the right flank.
Centre Forward: Kai Havertz
Chelsea have confirmed that Kai Havertz has recovered from a knock suffered in their 3-2 defeat to West Ham United at the weekend. The German was helped off the pitch after a collision with Kurt Zouma in the first half, and failed to emerge for the second half.
He is expected to lead the line with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner still not back to full fitness.
Havertz is a willing runner and his ability to run the channels will help Chelsea stretch the Zenit St Petersburg defence if they look to sit deep. Havertz was the hero of the last Champions League final for Chelsea. They will be looking to him for some much-needed inspiration in their final group match.
Tuchel has the option of calling on Lukaku or Werner from the bench, depending on what he wants from them and how the game progresses. With top spot in their Champions League group at stake, Havertz is the best man to lead the line from the start.
Left-wing Forward: Mason Mount
Mason Mount looks to be back to full fitness after suffering from the effects of a wisdom tooth infection over the past couple of months. The 22-year-old Englishman has been undoubtedly Chelsea's best player in the matches he has played since his recovery, with two goals and two assists in two games.
Mount is a clear creative hub for the team and doubles as a goalscoring threat as well as a tenacious runner. The midfielder is known for his ability to press high without showing signs of fatigue. When fit, he is a sure starter for Tuchel's side in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
After missing a huge chunk of the 4-0 hammering of Juventus last time around in the Champions League, Mount will be eager to make up for lost time against Zenit St Petersburg.
