Thomas Tuchel will show us what he really thinks of Romelu Lukaku with his starting line-up for the League Cup final against Liverpool... Chelsea score more WITHOUT their £98m man, but what future does he have at Stamford Bridge if he's benched at Wembley

How will Thomas Tuchel solve a problem like Romelu Lukaku? The Chelsea boss was frustrated at how much he was asked about his £98m striker in the aftermath of the 2-0 win over Lille on Tuesday night.

Lampooned for a Premier League record low of just seven touches of the ball in 90 minutes against Crystal Palace last Saturday, Tuchel took the forward out of the firing line and left him on the bench against the French side.

A tumultuous week for Lukaku will continue on Sunday with his manager showing his hand and telling us what he really thinks when he names his starting line-up for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.
