Kepa Arrizabalaga and Kai Havertz are both named in Chelsea's starting lineup for their Club World Cup semi-final against Al-Hilal.

Kepa Arrizabalaga and Kai Havertz have both been named in Chelsea's starting lineup for their Club World Cup semi-final against Al-Hilal.

First-choice goalkeeper Edoaurd Mendy had been in contention after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, while Mason Mount has trained despite picking up an injury against Plymouth Argyle at the weekend.

However, Arrizabalaga and Havertz have been selected in their place, the latter partnering Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku in the final third.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel, who will be watching the game from London due to testing positive for coronavirus at the weekend, has also opted to revert back to a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Marcos Alonso returns at left wing-back, with Malang Sarr dropping to the substitutes' bench, while Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic have been given the nod in midfield.

Matheus Pereira, Moussa Marega and Odion Ighalo have all been selected in a high-profile front three for Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal: Almuaiouf; Alburayk, Jang, Al Buyahi, Shahrani, Cuellar, Kanno, Salem, Periera, Marega, Ighalo
Subs: Alowais, Aljadani, Jahfali, Muteb, Saud, Hamad, Musab, Shehri, Alobaid, Michael, Carrillo

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga; Christensen, Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Ziyech, Havertz; Lukaku
Subs: Bettinelli, Mendy, Kante, Pulisic, Werner, Chalobah, Saul, Barkley, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Kenedy, Sarr
