Both Chelsea and Manchester City will have their attacks led by midfielder players at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Eden Hazard (£10.9m) has been deployed in the false-nine position for the Blues, flanked by Pedro (£6.3m) and Willian (£7.3m). After recent performances Olivier Giroud (£7.7m) is on the bench while and Álvaro Morata (£8.6m) is absent from the matchday squad entirely.

Marcos Alonso (£7.1m) keeps his place at left-back while Mateo Kovacic (£5.8m) is preferred to Ross Barkley (£5.7m) once again.

It’s Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) who plays up front for Manchester City this evening, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) and Leroy Sané (£9.4m) joining him in the front three.

Gabriel Jesus (£10.1m) drops to the bench while David Silva (£8.7m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) retain their places in central midfield.

In defence, Aymeric Laporte (£6.1m) comes back into the side and is paired with John Stones (£5.3m) at centre-back, Fabian Delph (£5.3m) and Kyle Walker (£6.5m) in the wide areas.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Luiz, Rudiger, Azpilucueta; Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic; Willian, Pedro; Hazard.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Delph; Fernandinho, David Silva, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Sané; Sterling.

        He was sacrificed in the game, so he's more likely to be the one getting benched, right?

            I'm really not. I went Sané to save some cash to fund other moves. Sterling seems like the one I should have targeted.

                  Just double check Chelsea fixtures. You surely can't sell Haz.

    So Salah plays all season, then gets benched during the week and Kane hauls, today Kane who has played all season is benched and Salah hauls. Okay. I think I understand now.
