Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo start in defensive midfield with Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson as the front four.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>It is a fairly strong eleven from Enzo Maresca with his strongest mifield and attack being put out. Chalobah and Badiashile is a rotation pick but does make for an awkward pairing as the duo haven&#8217;t played together that much which could be a weakness during the match. Gusto in for Reece James is a seinsible move to protect the Englishman.<\/p>\n<h3>Real Betis Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Adrian, Cardoso, Bartra, Natan, Antony, Ezzalzouli, Bakambu, Rodriguez, Fomals, Isco,Sabally<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the Chelsea confirmed lineup. There will be news as well as discussions on who started, who was left out, and what modifications the manager could make to his system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image Credit<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_651056\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-651056\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-651056 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/imago1057992842h-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"Chelsea Confirmed Lineup - image of Enzo Maresca providing instructions from the sidelines\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/imago1057992842h-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/imago1057992842h-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/imago1057992842h-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/imago1057992842h-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/imago1057992842h.jpg 1911w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-651056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">IMAGO \/ Sportimage<br \/>London, England, 20th January 2025.
