As fitness problems ease, Thomas Tuchel has shuffled his pack once again for the trip to Burnley, with Antonio Rudiger, Jorginho, Saul and Mason Mount the players to keep their places in the starting 11 at Turf Moor.

Mount is joined in attack by Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic. Edouard Mendy returns in goal and there are fresh faces among the back three, with Trevoh Chalobah and Thiago Silva recovering from recent knocks to join Rudiger.

Reece James makes his first start in almost 10 weeks, while Saul looks set to deputise at left wing-back in Marcos Alonso’s absence. N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are the preferred pairing in central midfield.

Burnley bring Nathan Collins in for injured captain Ben Mee and prefer Jay Rodriguez to Maxwel Cornet in attack.
