Much like the defensive unit, Chelsea's midfield trio has been fairly settled since Thomas Tuchel's arrival. N'Golo Kante's magnificent display against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-final didn't go unnoticed, while Jorginho has quietly gone about his business and silenced all his critics since the turn of the year.

However, Mason Mount's starring role for Chelsea has been one of the stories of their season, with the Englishman becoming central to Tuchel's philosophy. He was named Chelsea's Men's Footballer of the Year earlier this month and could once again be the difference-maker in a big game.

Manchester City's Phil Foden has grabbed all the headlines in recent weeks, but Mount will be Chelsea's danger man when the two sides do battle later today.


Chelsea Attackers - Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic

Timo Werner will almost certainly lead the line for Chelsea, but it remains to be seen who partners him upfront. Kai Havertz has played alongside his compatriot a handful of times in recent weeks, but we have good reason to believe it could well be Christian Pulisic who gets the nod against Manchester City.

The American international is one of the most explosive players on the ball and could trouble the Manchester City backline with his pace against trickery. With Werner and Pulisic as the focal points of the attack, Chelsea have a lot of pace and could well look to devastate the likes of Ruben Dias and John Stones in central defense.
