Filip Jorgensen starts in goal behind a back four of Reece James, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. It is the familiar faces of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in midfield. Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, and Jadon Sancho support striker Nicolas Jackson in the attack.
The bench features some names we’ve seen throughout the season with Rob Sanchez joined by Trevoh Chalobah, Josh Acheampong, Malo Gusto, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tyrique George, Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku, and Marc Guiu.
Chelsea Lineup: Jorgensen, James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Enzo, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson
Notable Changes
The major decision made by the manager is dropping Sanchez for Jorgensen after a string of questionable performances by the former Brighton & Hove Albion man. While the former Villarreal keeper also has yet to impress, he looks more solid than his counterpart and has a chance to really make his mark tonight.
Also returning is the late December partnership between Colwill and Tosin which looked questionable at times, they’re both capable of playing out from the back but as a duo, they seem to lack the recovery pace to defend well against transitions. With James and Cucurella to help they may be abe to cope this time around.
