Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has explained his team selection to face Leeds United at Elland Road on Wednesday evening.

The Blues boss made four changes to his line-up from the weekend's draw against Wolves.

Romelu Lukaku bagged two goals on Saturday and keeps his place in the starting line-up.

Chelsea XI to face Leeds United: Mendy, Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger, James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso, Pulisic, Lukaku, Mount

Bench: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Sarr, Silva, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Havertz, Werner, Ziyech

Trevoh Chalobah has come into the back three, as has Andreas Christensen with the pair playing alongside Antonio Rudiger.

Marcos Alonso keeps his place despite being taken off at half-time against Wolves, with Reece James operating on the other side.

Mason Mount comes in for Timo Werner as Christian Pulisic and Lukaku keep their place in the line-up.

  Chelsea analysis after the 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League End of story. None of the edging 55% towards James being a wing-back and 45% towards being part of Chelsea's back three. He is a wing-back. If his six goals and seven assists over the course of the season were not telling enough of his contributions from the right flank, then his match-leading 112 touches perhaps should be. The former Wigan loanee put in tantalising deliveries again and again, menacingly across the six-yard line, and was rampant up and down the right side. Thomas Tuchel has been able to call upon fine replacements in the form of Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek but the difference his first choice selection makes is telling. Of course, James is capable of playing on the right side of a back three but if that is seen as necessary then it `becomes necessary to find a player who could bring the qualities James does to that role - so the 22-year-old can thrive o...
