Predicted Chelsea line-up
Mendy starts, Tuchel to make two big changes | Predicted Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Man City
Chelsea face off against Manchester City in the Champions League final on Saturday. The Blues have been in a disappointing run of form recently with three defeats in four games, including the FA Cup final loss to Leicester City. They still secured a top-four spot on the final matchday of the league campaign, which has ensured their place in next season’s Champions League. They don’t have the added pressure for the final but will need to step up with a better performance to deny the Cityzens their maiden title in the competition. Thomas Tuchel’s side have beaten the English champions twice in as many months, but they are still regarded as underdogs for tonight’s encounter. Formation: 3-4-2-1 Predicted Line-up: Edouard Mendy suffered a rib injury against Aston Villa and was substituted midwa...
Havertz and Mount start, Predicted Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Leeds United
Chelsea make the trip to Elland Road for today’s early Premier League kick-off against Leeds United. The Blues are unbeaten since Thomas Tuchel was appointed manager in January, and they have won six of their last nine league games. The run sees them lying fourth in the standings with 50 points, two ahead of West Ham United, who have a game in hand. They beat Leeds 3-1 in the reverse fixture and are aiming to do the league double over them for the first time since 1936/37. Formation: 3-4-2-1 Predicted Line-up: Edouard Mendy has been the preferred choice between the sticks for the Blues, and he has missed just one league game since October. He is a couple of clean sheets behind Manchester City’s Ederson (15) in the pursuit of the Golden Glove award. There could be a solitary change at the h...
Kante and Giroud start, Predicted Chelsea line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Sheffield United
Chelsea will be aiming to register a third straight Premier League win when they face Sheffield United on the road on Sunday night. The Blues have impressed under new boss Thomas Tuchel and they have picked up seven points in the last three games without conceding. They are currently four points adrift of Liverpool, who are occupying the final Champions League spot. Formation: 3-4-2-1 Predicted Line-up: Edouard Mendy has emerged as the Blues’ undisputed starter in goal in the Premier League since his arrival from Rennes last summer. He should keep his place ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga. Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger have kept three clean sheets on the trot while playing as the back three. The combination will break with Silva out with a thigh problem. Andreas Christense...
Gilmour and Hudson-Odoi start, Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-3-3) vs Fulham
Chelsea will make the short trip to Craven Cottage for this evening’s Premier League clash against Fulham. The Blues have been in a poor run of form over the past month, picking up only four points from their last six league games. They are currently ninth on the table after a three-match winless league streak and will be hoping to end the run against the Cottagers. Scott Parker’s side have been the draw specialists of late. They have played out five stalemates on the trot, but are still two points adrift of safety. Formation: 4-3-3 Predicted Line-up: Edouard Mendy has been an undisputed choice in goal since his arrival from Rennes in the summer. He is expected to start between the sticks ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga once more. In the backline, Reece James should replace Cesar Azpilicueta in...
