Chelsea Lineup: Sanchez, Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Enzo, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson
Notable Changes
Benoit Badiashile is out of the eleven and the lineup entirely which is presumably due to an injury. Tosin gets a chance to come in on the right-side of the defense. Gusto starts at right back instead of Caicedo who moves into midfield, likely due to the absence of Romeo Lavia from the squad.
A forced change up front sees Pedro Neto left out due to suspension, opening a slot for Noni Madueke on the right. It’s a young bench too for the Blues who appear to be missing Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Joao Felix, youngsters Rak-Sayki, George, and Acheampong could benefit.
