There was some doubt about David Luiz's chances in the team when Sarri took charge of Chelsea. The Brazilian flourished in a 3-4-3 formation under Conte which contradicts Maurizio's philosophy of playing in a back four.

However, his partnership with Antonio Rudiger has been admirable, with Luiz being a guaranteed starter in every game.

The defensive duo would face one of the best strikers in the League who even on a bad day can change the game on its head. The recently concluded International break saw Harry Kane come up with a winner against Croatia after England trailed with just twenty minutes to go.

It would give him much confidence going into the game. Kane is still far off from his very best and would look to take the match against Chelsea as the perfect opportunity to get back his League form.
