Give Saul his debut, start Werner and Lukaku? Choose best starting XI for Villa game

Chelsea will face Aston Villa tomorrow at Stamford Bridge and the Blues will be looking to get back to winning ways after a hard-earned draw against Liverpool.

The Blues are a little shorthanded with Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic and Thiago Silva unavailable for this game.

However, our squad depth is immense and we can still field a strong team for this game - here are 2 teams that Thomas Tuchel could start:

Option 1: Werner starts with Lukaku

Tuchel said that he plans to start Timo Werner with Lukaku soon - why not this game?

The German striker has scored 3 goals and assisted one more during the 3 international games this break and comes back to Stamford Bridge full of confidence.

This team would see Kai Havertz move to the bench but the link-up of Werner and Lukaku against a depleted Aston Villa defence (their keeper Emiliano Martinez will miss this game) would be good to watch.

Option 2: Saul debuts, Chilwell over Alonso

Kante's absence could be the golden chance to give Saul Niguez his Chelsea debut in front of the home fans.

Jorginho-Saul isn't the best midfield duo but Saul has very high work rate and will be eager to prove himself in his first game so the duo can work against a Villa side who don't have the best midfield in the world!

Ben Chilwell is yet to make a start this season and perhaps the chance can be given in this game.

Which option do you choose? Let us know down below!
