Graham Potter has made just one change to his Chelsea side for this afternoon's Premier League clash against Liverpool – but new signing Mykhailo Mudryk is only included among the substitutes.
Mudryk has spent the past week at Cobham and is understood to have impressed his new teammates and the Chelsea coaching staff. However, given the Ukraine international hasn't played competitive action since November, it is no great surprise he hasn't been thrown into the starting XI.
Potter appears to have continued with the back four shape he has predominantly used since the World Cup break. Kepa Arrizabalaga continues in goal for the Blues while Trevoh Chalobah looks set to start at right-back.

Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile occupy the central roles with Marc Cucurella in at left-back. The Spaniard steps into the side in place of Carney Chukwuemeka.
Jorginho continues in midfield and looks set to be flanked by a midfield two of Conor Gallagher and Lewis Hall. The 18-year-old has been largely used at left-back in the first team but is expected to take up his natural role in the Chelsea midfield.
Hakim Ziyech, after an impressive outing against Crystal Palace, continues on the right of the Chelsea front three. Kai Havertz is in the middle while Mason Mount appears to have been moved back into the forward line.
Chelsea: Kepa, Chalobah, Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Cucurella; Jorginho, Gallagher, Hall; Ziyech, Havertz, Mount
Chelsea substitutes: Bettinelli, Azpilicueta, Humphreys, Koulibaly, Chukwuemeka, Loftus-Cheek, Mudryk, Aubameyang, D Fofana
