Chelsea Team News
Filip Jorgensen gets his chance to impress in the league as he starts in goal. The back four is almost unchanged with Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Marc Cucurella all starting alongside Axel Disasi. In midfield it is the usual pairing of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. Noni Madueke and Joao Felix come in on the wings with Cole Palmer through the middle. Christopher Nkunku leads the line as striker.
The bench is strong with Rob Sanchez joining Josh Acheampong, Malo Gusto, Reece James, Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, Marc Guiu, and Nicolas Jackson
Chelsea Lineup: Jorgensen, Cucurella, Colwill, Tosin, Disasi, Enzo, Caicedo, Felix, Palmer, Madueke, Nkunku
Notable Changes
There’s some rotation with Disasi coming in at right back and Jorgensen getting a chance to impress in goal. The main changes are the ones up front with the fresh legs of Felix, Madueke, and Nkunku tasked with leading the line. It’s likely this will see Felix pull inside and play almost as a second number ten with Cucurella becoming a de facto winger and the back three being more permanent.
There’s good news on the bench with the return of club captain James as well as reinforcements like Jackson, Sancho, and Neto all able to come on.
