Mateo Kovacic and Enzo Fernandez have formed a partnership in the middle of the park while Kai Havertz is leading the line well, usually flanked by Joao Felix and any one of Mykhailo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling, or Noni Madueke.
Chelsea Recent Form and Tactics
Since a return to the 3-4-3 formation things have been trending upward for Graham Potter. His side has won three games in a row and appears to finally found their touch in front of the goal after putting three past Leicester City.
The back-three has often looked like the best set-up for the Blues and so far it has led to one of their best stretches under their new manager.
Chelsea Absences to Consider
During his pre-game press conference, Potter confirmed several absences. Sterling, Mason Mount, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Thiago Silva will definitely not play any part. Long-term absentees like Armando Broja are still out.

It is expected that the 3-4-3 returns with the following personnel:
GK – Kepa Arrizabalaga

LWB – Ben Chilwell
