CHELSEA’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)
3-4-3
Chelsea’s Predicted Line Up – Starting 11
Kepa would be the man between the sticks for the home side Chelsea who have handed an injury scare during the break with wing-back Reece James whose fitness could be of concern to his club.
It remains to be seen whether the England international would be deemed fit to make the XI for Chelsea who can turn to Ruben Loftus-Cheek to deputise in the right wing-back role.
In the midfield department for Chelsea, the returning N’Golo Kante is likely to find a place on the bench with Graham Potter cautious over the Frenchman’s match fitness levels.
Joao Felix will provide company to Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling in the attacking third of the pitch with Havertz operating as the focal point of attack.
