How Chelsea Have Lined Up Recently
The starting eleven has picked itself largely in recent times. Robert Sanchez has played every minute of the campaign in goal. In front of him has been Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva, Reece James, and Levi Colwill or Marc Cucurella on the left.
The defensive midfield pivot has been Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez with Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer, and Connor Gallaher ahead of them. Nicolas Jackson has been trusted in the striker spot.
Chelsea Recent Form and Tactics
Mauricio Pochettino has stuck with a fluid 4-2-3-1 formation and it has started to bear fruit recently. A 4-4 draw with Manchester City followed up a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in what proved to be two very positive results.

The goals have finally started flowing for the Blues after some issues early in the season to put the ball in the net. That has coincided with a slight drop in their defensive ability with the back line looking somewhat leaky recently.
Chelsea Injuries to Consider
The latest injury report indicates that there are six definite absences from the matchday squad. Christopher Nkunku is not yet ready to return, nor is Romeo Lavia. They are joined by Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Wesley Fofana on the sidelines.
