Jadon Sancho Is Back In The Starting Lineup | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Crystal Palace | OneFootball

Chelsea were doing so well in the Premier League, emerging as a threat to Liverpool for the league title. However, the former side has dropped eight points in their last three points and their train seems like derailing.

The Blues have their next game lined up against Crystal Palace in the league this week. Enzo Maresca’s side need to walk out onto the field to only one mission in their mind and that is to collect all three points. However, it won’t be an easy game.

Defence

Robert Sanchez is in line to return between the sticks this week which means Filip Jorgensen will have to warm the bench. Right-back Axel Disasi made a blunder against Ipswich Town and he is expected to be swapped with Malo Gusto.

Tosin and Levi Colwill form the heart of the defence once again. However, they will have to step up in this clash and keep things tight at the backline. No doubt that Marc Cucurella is getting the start as the left-back in the lineup.

Midfield

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are again the holding midfield duo. The Argentine couldn’t impact the game positively and will be motivated to redeem himself this week.

Attack

Pedro Neto should be walking back into the XI at the cost of Noni Madueke to operate on the right flank. Cole Palmer, on the other hand, continues to play as an attacking midfielder.

Joao Felix is on the bench and his position is filled by Jadon Sancho who will have the services of Nicolas Jackson up front. It also means that Christopher Nkunku will have to return to the bench and wait for his opportunity.

Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile are all sidelined for this fixture.
