Chelsea will look to ensure a place in the finals of the FA Cup when they welcome Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge this Sunday in the semi-final contest.
Thomas Tuchel’s men were unable to progress to the last four of the Champions League despite a second leg win away at Real Madrid who emerged the winners over the two-legged tie.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Crystal Palace –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy is expected to retain his starting berth between the goalposts for Chelsea but changes are likely to be on show in the defensive lineup.
Andreas Christensen will push for a recall into the first XI and so would the skipper Cesar Azpilicueta with Thiago Silva and Ruben Loftus-Cheek likely to make way.
In midfield, the Italy international Jorginho seems poised for a starting berth on the team sheet after being benched for the Real Madrid clash time around.
Timo Werner looks set to lead the line with Thomas Tuchel expected to hand some well-earned rest to his in-form forward Kai Havertz which could open the door for Christian Pulisic.
