Chelsea welcome Aston Villa in Sunday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are currently fourth in the table and will be aiming to stay in the Champions League places with another victory.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Filip Jorgensen has been in superb form in the Cup competitions and the pressure is right on goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. The Spaniard needs a strong showing to keep his place in future.
Malo Gusto is assured to start at right-back with Reece James out until the New Year with a hamstring issue. Wesley Fofana should line up alongside Levi Colwill in central defence with Marc Cucurella at left-back.
Romeo Lavia has returned to full fitness after a minor injury, but Enzo Fernandez could get the nod alongside Moises Caicedo in midfield amid his good form.
In the final third, Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer should continue in the right wing and number 10 roles respectively. Palmer has been doubled up lately and needs to be quicker with his decisions.
Mykhailo Mudryk scored in the victory over Heidenheim in the Conference League, but Pedro Neto should get the nod over him on the left wing. He was in stunning form prior to his injury setback.
Up front, Nicolas Jackson is primed to start once more. Christopher Nkunku has been knocking on the door in recent weeks, but the Frenchman has not done enough to convince manager Enzo Maresca.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa; Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
