Edouard Mendy, Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly are almost guaranteed to start but beyond that, the English manager has been known to chop and change in an attempt to find his best eleven.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/11\/11\/chelsea-denzel-dumfries-january-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea Appreciate \u2018New Maicon\u2019 as Reece James Replacement<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lewis Hall impressed in midweek which could see him stick around but it&#8217;s unlikely he starts again.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A record League Cup attendance at St James&#39; Park tonight of 51,660 \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p>Incredible support \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3DXBCSMpGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/3DXBCSMpGI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FUN88 (@fun88eng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fun88eng\/status\/1590446717714907136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 9, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Chelsea have fluctuated between a 3-4-3 and a 4-3-3 in recent games. Injuries to wing-backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James have reduced the effectiveness of the 3-4-3 and other variants, but the 4-3-3 leaves the team frail at the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/09\/06\/chelsea-vision-2030-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Vision 2030 Project: A Necessary Overhaul of Academy Football<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Blues are without a win domestically in their last five games and they have gone almost an entire month without a League win.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Well, where to start? The current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierinjuries.com\/teams\/chelsea\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">injured list<\/a> at Stamford Bridge is extensive. Kepa Arizabalaga, Wesley Fofana, Chilwell, James, Carney Chukwuemeka and N&#8217;Golo Kante are all absent which has wreaked havoc on the first team. Jorginho is also a shoulder shrug for this game.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s almost no way of knowing what this side will look like at its best under Potter due to the onslaught of injuries since his appointment.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>We think there&#8217;s a chance that the 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 rears its head with three central defenders fit. Our predicted lineup is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>GK &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/10\/23\/edouard-mendy-best-chelsea-signing\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Edouard Mendy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LWB &#8211; Marc Cucurella<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Kalidou Koulibaly<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Thiago Silva<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Trevoh Chalobah<\/p>\n<p>RWB &#8211; Cesar Azpilicueta<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Mason Mount<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Mateo Kovacic<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Ruben Loftus-Cheek<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Kai Havertz<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Raheem Sterling<\/p>\n<h3>Current Odds: Newcastle United vs Chelsea<\/h3>\n<p>The home side come in as the favourites with SkyBet with odds of 5\/4.
