CHELSEA’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Chelsea’s Predicted 11
Kepa remains the first choice option for Lampard to feature between the goalposts despite the return of Edouard Mendy from injury.
In the backline, the veteran Thiago Silva could be joined by summer recruit Wesley Fofana with the latter tipped to pip Kalidou Koulibaly to the starting berth.
Chelsea’s midfield is expected to have Enzo Fernandez and Mateo Kovacic provided company by the fit again N’Golo Kante who can earn a berth on the team sheet.
Kai Havertz could return to operate as the focal point of attack for his side with Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling slotting in the wide roles.
