These are the Chelsea vs Ajax confirmed lineups for their UEFA Champions League tie in the group phase. The Blues are aiming to jump up to six points with some less winnable matches waiting. They’ll need all the points and goals they can get against Ajax, Qarabag, and Pafos to take some pressure off of the clash with Barcelona. Enzo Maresca aims to make it four wins on the bounce here as momentum is building in his favour.

Chelsea Team News
Filip Jorgensen gets a rare start with Jorrel Hato, Wesley Fofana, Moises Caicedo, and Tosin Adarabioyo in the back line. Romeo Lavia partners Enzo Fernandez in the pivot with Estevao, Facundo Buonanotte, Jamie Gittens, and Marc Guiu up front.
Notable Changes
A very interesting lineup from Maresca with Caicedo moving to right back to invert into midfield. Hato could tuck in to form a back three in what will end up as a more basic 3-2-4-1 to overload the Dutch side. There’s a host of changes from the weekend with young talent like Ryan Kavuma-McQueen getting onto the bench.
Ajax Team News
Pasveer starts with Rosa, Itakura, Moro, Taylor, Gloukh, Godts, Baas, McConnell, Sutalo, and former Premier League man Wout Weghorst.
Notable Changes
Heavily rotated from the weekend as Baas, Varos, Edvardsen, Gaaei, and Mokio are moved out of the eleven that started against AZ Alkmaar.
Stay tuned for the Chelsea vs Ajax confirmed lineups. There will be news on who starts, who missed out, and what tactical changes the managers could make.
