Thomas Tuchel has made a whopping nine changes to his Chelsea starting XI for tonight's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Luton Town, which will be played amid the backdrop of the Blues potentially being sold by Roman Abramovich.
Todd Boehly, who owns stakes in the baseball club LA Dodgers and the basketball franchise LA Lakers, is one of the American businessmen understood to be talking with Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss about forming a consortium to purchase Chelsea from Abramovich and a deal could be completed swiftly.
Focusing on the football, with the Blues coming into the game off the back of an energy-sapping Carabao Cup final – and having a number of injuries and fitness concerns – Tuchel has opted to heavily rotate his side.
