Mason Mount, Attacking Midfielder, No. 19, England

This was really a coin flip between two of the best young talents in world football, Mount and Kai Havertz. Both played in midweek for their respective countries and performed well over the international break. Mount will be the creative force to feed the forward line this weekend against Aston Villa. The Kova-Jorginho midfield pivot has enough balance between the two for Mason to focus on his attacking duties.

Romelu Lukaku, Right Striker, No. 9, Belgium

A mainstay in the Chelsea attack. Big Rom has to start just for his presence and dominating centerbacks in the league. Like Timo Werner, Lukaku has also been outstanding for Belgium in the international break. Haven already got off the mark for the Blues this season this will be another good match for Lukaku to get back in the goals ahead of a testing set of fixtures for Chelsea.

Timo Werner, Left Striker, No. 11, Germany

Turbo Timo has been sensational during the international break scoring and assisting a lot for Germany. Many Chelsea fans have been wanting Thomas Tuchel to deploy both Werner and Lukaku upfront together and hopefully this weekend we all get the chance to see that. Timo offers very good pace to drag defenders out of position for Lukaku to run in that space and to finish off the chances.
