This is a Chelsea confirmed lineup for their Premier League clash with Bournemouth in the late kickoff on Saturday. The Blues are looking to log just their second league win of the campaign so far after a disappointing draw with Crystal Palace and a defeat to Servette in the Europa Conference League. Enzo Maresca has one big headache in the absence of Malo Gusto and Reece James which could bring a change in setup.

Robert Sanchez starts in goal. Axel Disasi comes in alongside Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. Renato Veiga also starts which could mean there’s a back five, or he’s playing as a more traditional defensive midfielder.
Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer play as the other two central midfielders with Pedro Neto on the left, Noni Madueke on the right, and Nicolas Jackson as the striker
New signing Jadon Sancho is on the bench alongside Filip Jorgensen, Tosin, Benoit Badiashile, Cesare Casadei, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku, and Marc Guiu
Chelsea Lineup: Sanchez, Disasi, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Veiga, Caicedo, Palmer, Neto, Madueke, Jackson
Notable Changes
The big news is the absence of Enzo Fernandez who doesn’t even get a spot on the bench, Veiga is his replacement although the former Basel man is likely going to play deep with Caicedo pushing up to occupy Fernandez’s spot.
Disasi comes in at right back to replace the injured Gusto and James, he has played there twice already in the Conference League in this campaign.
