CHELSEA’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)
4-2-3-1
Kepa is expected to get the nod to start between the posts against Liverpool in the league opener despite Chelsea bringing in Robert Sanchez from Brighton in the summer window.
In the backline, Levi Colwill and Thiago Silva are all but certain to slot in the centre-back roles on the team sheet with Wesley Fofana on the sidelines with an injury.
Chelsea’s engine room could have club record signing Enzo Fernandez provided company by the promising starlet Andrey Santos to make for an exciting midfield duo.
In the attacking third of the pitch, Mykhailo Mudryk is an option on the left flank with summer recruit Nicolas Jackson in line to start the game as Chelsea’s focal point of attack.
