The absence of Timo Werner has further sparked the debate of his future at the club. Chelsea would also be looking to play better following their woeful defeat in the hands of Arsenal.
The addition of Billy Gilmour, Ethan Ampadu and Armando Broja, and Harvey Vale came as a shocker to many as it had been reported that the coach did not consider these players as first choice ahead of a new season.
Tuchel seems to be keen on giving the boys an opportunity to prove themselves.
