Chelsea take on Cardiff City on the road in tonight’s Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Ahead of the game, manager Enzo Maresca is poised to make wholesale changes to the starting XI.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Line-up:
Robert Sanchez has been ever-present in the Premier League and Champions League games this campaign. There could be a change tonight with Filip Jorgensen coming in goal.
The backline could see a complete overhaul. Josh Acheampong and Jorrel Hato could line up in the full-back positions with Tosin Adarabioyo partnership Benoit Badiashile in central defence.
Moises Caicedo served the final game of his three match suspension in the league last weekend. The Ecuadorian could start as the defensive midfielder tonight and could be partnered by Andrey Santos.
In the final third, Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens could get starts on the right and left wing respectively. Facundo Bounanotte could feature as the number 10 while Marc Guiu could lead the line.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Cardiff: Jorgensen; Acheampong, Tosin, Badiashile, Hato; Caicedo, Santos; Estevao, Buonanotte, Gittens; Guiu.
