Chelsea returned to the Premier League Sunday afternoon when they welcome Ipswich Town to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were far from convincing during the recent first league outings, but were confident 3-0 during their first stage of the Europa conference league with Legia Warsworm Thursday evening. A moral stimulation result should help them put ipswich in the sword championship this weekend.
Enzo Maresca made radical changes to its starting program in Warsaw after having shot last weekend against Brentford, but the Italian should return to a XI more familiar for the visit of Ipswich.
Here’s how Chelsea could line up.
GK: Robert Sanchez – Filip Jorgensen did nothing wrong when it was released on Thursday evening, but Sanchez should be restored in the departure training against Ipswich. The Spaniard has made crucial stops in recent weeks.
RB: Malo Gusto – Chelsea kept three consecutive clean sheets and Gusto started the three clashes. With Reece James featured for almost an hour in the middle of the week, the skipper could be rested in favor of its French club club on Sunday.
CB: Trevoh Chalobah – Chalobah appreciated the evening in the middle of the week despite the trip to Poland and will be well rested for a battle with the Chelsea Liam Delap transfer target, which encourages the shape of goals.
CB: Levi Colwill – Colwill played alongside Delap during their youth days in England and could recall a teammate again next season. For the moment, he will be responsible for chaining the imposing striker.
LB: Marc Cucurella – Cucurella impressed the bench Thursday evening and entered a confident mood of Sunday after a few catchy performances in recent weeks.
DM: Moises Caicedo – The equatorial international is rarely rested for the club or the country but was not necessary against Legia. He will feel the profit on Sunday against a team of Ipswich, it is unlikely that he was causing too many problems for him.
DM: Enzo Fernandez – Fernandez’s creative spark has been fully seen in recent weeks and the midfielder will aim to contribute in the last third against Deep Defense d’Ipswich.
RW: Noni Madueke – The Chelsea game changer from the bench in the middle of the week, Madueke was double in Poland when he scored his first goals since his return from injury.
AM: Cole Palmer – There were fears about the physical form of Palmer when he was withdrawn at halftime against Legia, but Maresca canceled any concern after revealing that the modification was pre-plane.
LW: Pedro Neto – Neto has six games without goal or help for the club or the country and Chelsea needs the Portuguese explosive to rediscover his Mojo in the last weeks of the season.
ST: Nicolas Jackson – Thursday, Christopher Nkunku’s penalty highlighted Jackson’s meaning for this Chelsea team. The Senegalese brings an essential speed and energy in the front line.
