Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante both start in Porto.

The goalkeeper and the midfielder were our main injury doubts in the run-up to the Champions League final but Mendy takes his place behind a familiar-looking defence, although it remains to be seen whether Cesar Azpilicueta or Reece James plays in the back three.

Jorginho lines up alongside Kante in the centre of the park with Ben Chilwell the left wing-back.

Timo Werner is in the attack with Mason Mount and there is a place in the side for his fellow countryman Kai Havertz.

Manchester City make one change from their semi-final second leg against Paris St-Germain. Raheem Sterling starts with Fernandinho moving to the bench. 

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta (c), Thiago Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Jorginho, Chilwell; Havertz, Werner, Mount.

Subs: Caballero, Kepa, Alonso, Emerson, Christensen, Zouma, Gilmour, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Ziyech, Giroud.

Man City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Mahrez, Silva, De Bruyne (c), Foden, Sterling.

Subs: Carson, Steffen, Ake, Cancelo, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Rodri, Aguero, Jesus, Torres.
