Chelsea Team News
Filip Jorgensen is starting in goal with a back four of Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, and Renato Veiga. This will likely see some flank switching with the Spaniard starting on the right instead of his usual position.
Enzo Fernandez starts in midfield alongside Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall which will be an interesting pairing to keep eyes on. Mykailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, and Joao Felix make up the attacking four.
The bench consists of Robert Sanchez, Lucas Bergstrom, Tosin Adarabioyo, Cesare Casadei, Carney Chukwuemeka, Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, Marc Guiu, and some academy standouts in Tyrique George, Shim Mhueka, and Samuel Rak-Sayki

Notable Changes
As expected there’s heavy rotation for this midweek competition with some focus being kept on the Premier League match this weekend. The attacking changes are expected as it allows the B-unit to gel and push for a spot in the regular eleven.
Cucurella and Fernandez starting is likely to help them build match fitness as the former was suspended for the Liverpool clash while the latter returned form South America midweek and was rested.
