Tuchel can only start three forwards in his 3-4-3 system, and Mount is the only player mentioned above to have started in more than half of Chelsea's 24 Premier League games this season.
Ziyech has started nine, Pulisic eight and Werner just six in the league. Havertz has 12 starts to his name, but many were as a striker during Lukaku's period out injured.

He will be pressured to play his cards right, with the prospect of the Blues losing a good chunk of money on discontent attackers growing ever-closer.
Havertz and Werner cost around £120m combined; Pulisic and Ziyech push that total over £200m.
Tuchel must find a way to keep as many as possible happy, whether that may be by changing his system or trusting Maria Granovskaia to broker their departures with minimal financial damage.
