In the midfield three, Loftus-Cheek will be injured and Mateo Kovacic back at Real Madrid.Mason Mount has been impressive at Derby this season with nine goals and four assists in the Championship.Christian Pulisic will return from his loan at Borussia Dortmund and likely to go straight into the starting XI as a possible replacement for Eden Hazard.5

Callum Hudson-Odoi is set for months on the sidelines
