Chelsea welcome Newcastle United to Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening for the final game of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign.
The Blues were handed a 4-1 defeat by Manchester United in a result which earned Eric ten Hag’s men a top-four finish at the expense of the struggling west Londoners.
Let us now take a look at how the Chelsea side will line up for the upcoming game –
CHELSEA’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Chelsea’s Predicted 11
Kepa is likely to retain his starting berth on the team sheet to feature between the goalposts despite Edouard Mendy being fit again for selection.
In the backline, Thiago Silva could be in line to earn a recall to the first XI with Trevoh Chalobah expected to give way for the veteran Brazil centre-back.
Chelsea’s midfield roster in the XI is expected to have Ruben Loftus-Cheek being handed a start by Frank Lampard to add more creatively to the engine room.
Up top on the pitch, Noni Madueke could drop down to the bench which opens the door for Joao Felix to return to the team sheet in the front line.
