Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech have both been recalled to the Chelsea starting lineup for Thursday's Premier League game with Manchester City.

Having impressed for their respective nations at the World Cup, the pair have been eased back into action since returning to the Blues over the Christmas and New Year period.

However, the duo are handed opportunities by Graham Potter with Jorginho and the injured Mason Mount dropping out of the side.

Despite Chelsea's poor performance in the 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest, Potter has opted to only make two changes to his team.

That means that Denis Zakaria retains his spot ahead of Conor Gallagher, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is forced to make do with a spot on the substitutes' bench.

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Silva, Koulibaly, Cucurella; Kovacic, Zakaria; Pulisic, Ziyech, Sterling; Havertz

Subs: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Humphreys, Hall, Chukwuemeka, Gallagher, Jorginho, Hutchinson, Aubameyang

Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Ake, Cancelo; Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Gundogan; Bernardo, Haaland, Foden

Subs: Ortega, Phillips, Grealish, Alvarez, Gomez, Akani, Mahrez, Palmer, Lewis body check tags ::
