Chelsea vs Preston – Team News | OneFootball

Chelsea face Preston at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!

Mauricio Pochettino promised a strong team in his press conference yesterday, and he really delivered on that promise.

We knew Christopher Nkunku was going to miss out, and he drops out. Nicolas Jackson has gone to the Africa Cup of Nations, so he’s also out of the picture entirely.

Armando Broja comes in to the team to replace him up top, while Nkunku’s place is taken by Mykhailo Mudryk.

Raheem Sterling also comes in, with Cole Palmer likely to play deeper in midfield with Enzo and Moises Caicedo.

At the back, Alfie Gilchrist gets a debut start, playing with what looks like Levi Colwill in the middle, Axel Disasi on the right, and Malo Gusto at left back.

Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Preston (kick off at 17:30 GMT)
