Chelsea face Newcastle United in the second of two Premier League games to be played on Monday night.
The start in West London is at 20:00 GMT.
After having rotated frequently since his appointment, Thomas Tuchel has given another surprise with his payroll tonight.
Edouard mendy (£ 5.1m) is the latest high-profile name to take on the job at the bank, with Kepa Arrizabalaga (£ 4.7 million) got another chance to impress his new manager.
Speaking before kick-off, Tuchel explained his decision:
Four of the five most owned Chelsea players in the Fantasy Premier League are among the substitutes tonight, with Timo Werner (£ 9.2m) the only one to start.
In related news, none of the five defenders, including goalkeeper Mendy, who Frank Lampard favored for much of the 2020/21 season are Tuchel’s starting eleven tonight.
Thiago Silva (£ 5.6 million) is still missing due to injury, with Ben chilwell (£ 5.9 million), Reece james (£ 5.0 million) and Kurt zouma (£ 5.4 million) between replacements.
Tammy abraham (£ 7.2m) starts before Olivier giroud (£ 6.7 million) upfront, meanwhile.
Steve Bruce makes four changes to the Newcastle team that beat Southampton at Gameweek 23.
All four are enforced, with Javier Manquillo (£ 4.2 million), Callum wilson (£ 6.6 million) and Fabian Schar (£ 4.9 million) injured and Jeff Hendrick (£ 4.5 million) suspended.
Entry Ciaran Clark (£ 4.5 million), Jamaal lascelles (£ 4.2 million), Dwight gayle (£ 5.9 million) and Emil krafth (£ 4.2 million) on Bruce’s starting XI.
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, Kovacic, Mount, Alonso, Abraham, Werner.
Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Krafth, Lascelles, Clark, Lewis, Hayden, Shelvey, Willock, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Gayle.
