Christian Pulisic couldn't make his way into the Chelsea team despite several attacking injuries in attack for his teammates. Raheem Sterling, who started and scored against Borussia Dortmund in midweek, was a concern before the game with a hamstring tweak as Graham Potter described him as doubtful.
The English winger was left out for the trip to the midlands, leaving Joao Felix, Kai Havertz and Mykhailo Mudryk to play in attack. Meanwhile the Blues are also missing another seven stars for the match as Potter tries to balance preparation for the Champions League quarter-finals in four weeks and continuing an upturn in results.
Pulisic, who made his first appearance in two months on Tuesday, still wasn't preferred in the forward spots though. Potter did choose to bring on the American from the bench in the second half, favoured over Mudryk, but it was the Ukrainian who got the nod on Saturday.
