Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez form what will likely be a double pivot with Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, and Noni Madueke behind Nicolas Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>Filip Jorgensen, Tosin Adarbioyo, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Cesare Casadei, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Christopher Nkunku are on the bench.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Starting 11:\u00a0<\/strong>Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Palmer, Madueke, Jackson<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s another shift in shape and personal from Maresca after using his inverted full-backs and weaker side against Servette. This time around it seems there&#8217;ll be a more traditional 4-2-3-1 shape with Neto on the left, Palmer in the middle, and Madueke on the right.<\/p>\n<p>No Marc Guiu on the bench indicates that either Nkunku or Felix could operate as a false nine if Jackson needs to come off. The back-four remains the same with this four being trusted in the Premier League so far, whether or not Reece James can break in after the international break will be interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Sanchez remains the first-choice between the sticks despite the solid performances from Jorgensen in Europe. This will be a battle to keep eyes on for the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Crystal Palace Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Henderson, Munoz, Richards, Clyne, Guehi, Mitchell, Wharton, Hughes, Kamada, Eze, Mateta<\/p>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c84d517 elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-content\" data-id=\"5c84d517\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"theme-post-content.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Stay tuned for a full update and discussion on the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their London derby with Crystal Palace in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a Chelsea confirmed lineup for their clash with Crystal Palace in the Premier League on September 1.
