Chelsea Lineup: Sachez, Cucurella, Acheampong, Colwill, Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson
Notable Changes
The big change is the return of right-back Caicedo with Lavia and Enzo in midfield. That will allow the Ecuadorian to invert into midfield alongside the Belgian when in possession. Madueke coming back in allows for a more direct winger than Neto and balances out the more pass-focused Sancho.
Acheampong comes in as the starting right CB and should keep that spot in the continued absence of Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile. He pairs up well with Colwill and allows the veteran Tosin to feature as a leader for the rotational squad in cups and Conference League matches.
Bournemouth Team
Travers, Huijsen, Kerkez, Cook, Brooks, Christie, Dango, Adams, Hill, Semenyo, Zabarnyi
