Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Chelsea could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Leeds United.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel will consider making numerous changes to his Chelsea starting lineup for Sunday's Premier League fixture at Leeds United.

The German will certainly be forced into one alteration with midfielder N'Golo Kante being ruled out for a number of weeks with a hamstring injury.

With Mateo Kovacic also absent with a knee issue, Tuchel will resolve the situation by using either Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Conor Gallagher alongside Jorginho.

The inclusion of the former appears more likely, with Reece James returning to his usual right wing-back role and Cesar Azpilicueta taking a spot in the back three.

Marc Cucurella is expected to retain his place at left wing-back after making a positive impression on his full debut against Tottenham Hotspur.

Christian Pulisic will only feature among the replacements at best after only returning to training on Friday after a minor issue.

Armando Broja may have come into contention for a first start in attack, but the Albania international has been ruled out in the short term through injury.

Barring any further fitness problems, the remainder of the team should stay the same.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Koulibaly; James, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Cucurella; Mount, Sterling; Havertz
