Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Legia for Europa Conference League Clash
How Chelsea Have Lined Up Recently
Rob Sanchez has started in goal since the return from the international break. In defence, Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo. Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, and Malo Gusto have been used in different spots in those two games. Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been used in defensive midfield with Enzo also playing in an attacking role against Brentford.
Cole Palmer has returned from injury to become the main attacking midfielder with Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto, and Noni Madueke fighting it out for spots on the wing. The striker spot has been split between Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku.
Chelsea Recent Form & Tactics
Maresca has continued to use his fluid 4-2-3-1 setup that ends up being a 3-2-4-1 in possession or sometimes a 3-3-4. It is designed to dominate possession by getting two players into the centre of the midfield around the box while the wingers stretch the play, it also relies on playing out from the back which is an issue at times for this squad.

Despite the fan sentiment being so negative the team is actually on a run of only one defeat in their last seven outings. A loss to high-flying Arsenal has been surrounded by wins and the disappointing draw with Brentford. More than anything, the defensive turnaround has been excellent as the team once incapable of keeping a clean sheet has now kept five in their last seven matches.
Chelsea Injuries to Consider
Per PremierInjuries there are only three senior absences from the squad. Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended due to a ban while Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana are both sidelined yet again.
