Mason Mount, Right wing, 19, England

There is something about Mason Mount that sets him apart from rest of the squad. The 21-year-old has more passion for Chelsea than anyone else and has an extremely high work rate, something that has been appreciated by Gareth Southgate as well. After the disappointing performance and missed penalty against Spurs, Frank finally gave him a chance to rest as he did not feature in the 4-0 rout of the Eagles. However, Mount cannot miss two games in a row and be prepared to see him on the wing exchanging positions with Kai Havertz regularly against the Saints.

Timo Werner, Striker, 11, Germany

Timo Werner has been doing all the right things over the past few games but he hasn’t been able to get the goal yet. However, he seems really close, doesn’t he? To be honest, Timo Werner has the perfect ingredients to lead this line for a long time. He has one of the highest work rates in the squads. He runs back to win the ball and then makes some incisive runs into the box. Timo Werner seems ready to finally score his first Premier League goal, and it is finally Timo time.

Cristian Pulisic, Left wing, 10, United States

Every Chelsea fan has been waiting for a long time to see Pulisic play along with the new signings in the form of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner. He has struggled with an unfortunate injury for the past month but you can’t stop Captain America for too long, can you? It is time for Pulisic to take the Premier League by storm and cement his own legacy. The Saints aren’t ready, the Premier League isn’t ready. Captain America is coming!
