Tinkering: Enzo Maresca

The Blues face ES Tunis of Tunisia in the early hours of Wednesday morning knowing that defeat will see them eliminated at the group stage of the Club World Cup.
There will be no appearance from Nicolas Jackson, who is suspended following his straight red card four minutes after coming off the bench against Flamengo.
A second start is therefore likely to be handed to Liam Delap, who assisted on his debut in the 2-0 win of Los Angeles FC and made his full debut last time out.
Reece James produced a poor display in midfield against Flamengo so could be used at right-back or be benched, while Noni Madueke is likely to return to the front four from the off.
Pedro Neto has scored in both of Chelsea’s games in the United States so far and is expected to start.
Axel Disasi, Djordje Petrovic, Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix were left out of the Club World Cup squad ahead of their likely exits from the club, while Wesley Fofana remains injured.
