Mason Mount (No. 19) Right forward, England

Mason Mount has been Chelsea’s best player this season, without any doubt, hence his winning the Player of the Year award. This game is a dream come true for a boy who joined the Chelsea academy at the age of six and scored against the most coveted team in the competition’s history. Mount is a man who thrives on pressure, and our future captain could end up scoring a goal or two in the biggest game of his young career.

Kai Havertz (No. 29) Striker, Germany

Kai Havertz took a lot of time to adapt to the Premier League and Chelsea’s system. However, in the past months, he has looked like the player that the Blues paid for. In a free role as a false nine, Havertz has flourished and played football in an elegant—yet effective—manner. While Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech have been good in patches, Chelsea is probably better off with them as super subs off the bench late in the game. It is time for Havertz to announce himself to the world, and there couldn’t be a better game to do it.

Timo Werner (No. 11) Left forward, Germany

Timo Werner does not finish chances regularly, and that is a known fact. He often makes up for it with his pace and effective dribbling though. His movement has been a little off as he has been offside regularly, and that is something Guardiola would have definitely noticed. Werner just needs to focus on his game and feed off other forwards. The man needs redemption, and this game is the perfect place to prove himself.
