The Englishman has been one of Chelsea&#8217;s star players when fit, causing a lot of problems for opponents when playing at wing-back, though he has recently deputised on the right of Chelsea&#8217;s back three.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this recent change, Tuchel is likely to deploy James at right-wing-back, believing this to be his best position &#8211; although he admitted having two of James would solve his problem a lot better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would love to have two of Reece James so the problem would be solved,&#8221; Tuchel told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s 55 per cent towards wing-back, 45 per cent towards back three. It depends also how the opponent plays against us. Do we expect a lot of possession? How is their structure for offensive transition?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It can sometimes be very helpful for us if Reece plays in the back three, to be the first guy to cover in transition with his speed and physicality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m leaning a bit more his very best position is the wing-back position when he can be more decisive, but it\u2019s more demanding. The next step is to be a regular player over 55, 60 matches. Then we decide, but both positions are filled with top quality with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Predicted Chelsea XI vs Man Utd:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Alonso; Mount; Havertz, Werner.
