Lewis Hall and Armando Broja both start for Chelsea in Wednesday's EFL Cup third round tie at Manchester City.

Lewis Hall and Armando Broja have both been handed starts for Chelsea in Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round tie at Manchester City.

With Ben Chilwell out for a number of months with a hamstring injury, 18-year-old Hall is provided with his second start in a Blues at left wing-back.

Meanwhile, Broja makes just his second start down the middle of the attack in a new-look front three alongside Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech.

Denis Zakaria is another player to make his second Chelsea start, joining forces with Mateo Kovacic in midfield, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek seemingly being used at right wing-back unless Marc Cucurella plays at right-back in a four-man defence.

Kalidou Koulibaly returns to the backline after recently recovering from a knee injury, partnering Trevoh Chalobah who continues his run of starts.

While the substitutes' bench is full of first-team regulars, former Arsenal youngster Omari Hutchinson will also hope to make his Chelsea debut.

Manchester City: Ortega; Lewis, Dias, Laporte, Gomez; Rodri, Palmer, Gundogan; Mahrez, Alvarez, Grealish
