But German Coach will hope it’s a lucky second at England’s national stadium.

And it remains to be seen whether Tuchel will start the £97m striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian striker was knocked out of the Champions League round of 16 when he faced Lille on Tuesday night – which the Blues won 2-0.

Kai Havertz led the squad first – and Tuchel has confirmed everyone remains fit for Sunday.

He said: “Everybody trained on the field today except for Ben Chilwell, which is great news.

“It’s quite a lot. [Ziyech and Kovacic] both are fine. “

The possible scenario is that Tuchel continues to play in the match against defending champion France Lille.

That includes Edouard Mendy in goal, driven by the trio of Antonio Rudiger, Thiago Silva and Andreas Christensen.

Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta will hopefully remain Tuchel’s dependable full-backs.

In midfield, the superb duo Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante are set to hold their place.

And the dynamic trio of Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Havertz are expected to be selected to start the match.

But Chelsea have a range of options they can use if they want to mix things up.

Reece James is back in training and could replace Azpilicueta on the right flank.

Jorginho could be preferred over Kovacic in the center of midfield.

And in attack there is still a big controversy surrounding not only Lukaku but also Mason Mount.

The Carabao Cup final will begin at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, February 27.
