Chelsea vs Gent team news

Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia have all been left out of Chelsea’s squad for the Conference League in a bid to manage their workloads, so will not be available here.

Malo Gusto returned from injury against Brighton, and may be handed another start with Reece James still sidelined. Christopher Nkunku appears to be the starting striker away from the Premier League, who will start and could be supported by Pedro Neto and Joao Felix.

The likes of Ramon Veiga, Beniot Badiashile, Kieran Dewsbury-Hall and Mykhailo Mudryk should all get the nod.

Such is the strength of Maresca’s squad, anything less than a routine home win would be considered a real upset.

Chelsea to win, 2-0.
