For all of Graham Potter's tactical flexibility, his tinkering and changing in the early months at Chelsea and the rotation, his team has been consistent for a while.
There have been times of change. The 2-1 defeat against Fulham saw a three man defence used for the first time after the World Cup whilst the trip to Anfield was a blend of a 3-4-3 and a 4-3-3. The latter is closer to what was expected of Potter at Stamford Bridge.
Since then, things haven't been too hard to predict. The Blues have turned to a 4-2-3-1 shape with similar personnel too. Injured players coming back have been slowly bedded in with Reece James now occupying the right-back spot once more.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek was back in the XI against West Ham in midfield whilst Kai Havertz remains the only trusted option as a No.9 despite his evident flaws in the position. Mykhailo Mudryk doesn't look to be going anywhere soon and Noni Madueke has been bright on the right.
The Champions League last-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund is a slightly different proposition though. The backline partnership of Benoit Badiashile and Thiago Silva will have to be broken up due to the Frenchman's omission from the squad whilst Marc Cucurella's form has put some pressure on Ben Chilwell.
It's with this in mind that football.london offered fans their own vote on who to pick. The team that came back has answered some of the key questions for Potter.
Chilwell is sent straight into the starting XI whilst it is a four man defence with Kalidou Koulibaly coming in to replace Badiashile. The midfield duo of Enzo Fernandez and Mateo Kovacic has been picked for its first outing together whilst Joao Felix has been favoured for a spot in the No.10 role.
He will be fielded behind Mudryk, Havertz and Hakim Ziyech deputising for Madueke's absence. Potter may well have a trick or two up his sleeve that sees this XI change slightly but it looks like a very feasible selection.
