Chelsea will be eager to return to winning ways when they visit Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Monday.

The Blues were held to a goalless draw at Everton before suffering a shock 2-1 defeat against Fulham at Stamford Bridge.

After Arsenal’s slender win against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, the Blues have slipped down to third in the Premier League, one point behind their title rivals.

Enzo Maresca’s side will be determined to avoid going on a three-game winless streak when they take on the Tractor Boys at Portman Road on Monday night.

Predicted Chelsea line-up

Maresca is expected to ring the changes from the side that lost to Fulham, with at least four players coming into the starting line-up.

The one constant could be Robert Sanchez, who is expected to retain his place in goal, but there could be at least one change to the backline.

After Malo Gusto’s uninspiring performance against Fulham, he could drop to the bench for Axel Disasi.

Renato Veiga and Noni Madueke were both dropped for ‘technical’ reasons for the Fulham defeat, but Maresca confirmed the pair are in contention at Portman Road.

Madueke could return to the line-up in one of three changes to the attack. Joao Felix has barely featured in the Premier League since joining the club but he’s in line for a start in Suffolk.

Christopher Nkunku should also be named in the starting XI, with Nicolas Jackson handed a breather.

Chelsea predicted XI:

(4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella; Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez; Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Joao Felix; Christopher Nkunku.
