How Chelsea Have Lined Up Recently
Robert Sanchez has been a constant presence in goals even in cup matches with Djordje Petrovic still yet to see the field for his new side. In defence, we have seen Levi Colwill, Thiago Silva, Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, and Malo Gusto line up in the back four spots.

The midfield pivot has consisted mainly of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez with an attacking midfield trio of Conor Gallagher, Cole Palmer, and Raheem Sterling with Nicolas Jackson tasked with leading the line.
Chelsea Recent Form and Tactics
Mauricio Pochettino has stuck with a 4-2-3-1 high pressing setup throughout the season. This has started to bare fruit with only one defeat in the last seven games, this coming against Brentford. A 2-2 draw with Arsenal and the aforementioned win over Tottenham stand out as the best results.
The goals have started to arrive with the team netting 12 times in their past five outings, although this has coincided with a lack of clean sheets which the manager will likely be concerned with.
Chelsea Injuries to Consider
The latest injury update from the club is a smaller one than usual. Armando Broja is nowhere to be seen which indicates he has returned to fitness and could play some part in this match. Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Christopher Nkunku remain on the sidelines.
