Looks like a 3-5-2, McTominay needs a rest though, can't see why6 Garner couldn't start in this system with the extra CB protection. The front 3 is........interesting.

Think it's a front 2.

No Greenwood, he's injured I presume?

Played last night in the leasing.com trophy. Better for him to play there to get confidence.

I think we'll win.

Romero

AWB - Lindelof - Maguire - Rojo - Williams

Fred - McTominay

Lingard

James - Martial

10/11.
I thought Martial, but seeing as Martial played vs Partizan with Rashford on the bench, i guess it makes sense.

Ah, fair enough. Cheers.

KennyBurner · Oct 30, 2019

Not to happy with how we have sacrificed creativity for more engines. No martial means we wont create anything up top. I actually wanted to watch an interesting game but I guess we will have to wait till the 70th minute for changes.

Why rashy?? He badly needs a rest

He is starting to look like recovering so form, and he will be given opportunity to get some momentum back in his game.

Fracture90 · Oct 30, 2019

Think i'm finally in double figures on this line-up prediction after a while.

The way Chelsea has been cutting through teams has been very impressive. We are yet to play a team with that much penetration into the box. However, I doubt they will field their XI

We've played Chelsea this season already. We've also played Liverpool and free scoring Leicester and all of them struggled to score against us.

Gomes not on the bench? I thought he was being rested the other night for the U23s.

Injured.

I think Martial was withdrawn at Norwich soon after he scored because he s not 100 per cent fit

JMack1234 · Oct 30, 2019

Looking forward to this game.

I actually think we should take this competition quite seriously because a trophy for this team and Ole will be a gigantic shot in the arm.

However, I won't be shedding too many tears if we don't win tonight. Just looking forward to what should be an enjoyable game of football.

Lose and you have an excuse ("we wanted to give the youth game time")

Win and it's a great victory... "We beat their first team with our squad players".

Win/win for you?

settembrini · Oct 30, 2019

Looks like it will be the same tactics we used against Liverpool. Pereria was very important in that match so we will need Lingard to contribute today...

always_hoping · Oct 30, 2019

Only 4 changes. DeGea,Young,Anderas,Martial out and in Romero,Rojo,Williams,Lingard.

OohAahMartial · Oct 30, 2019

Ole only know to play to win. And going out of a competition will only make things rockier for him and the team. Winning tonight however can help our team's morale and confidence to continue to recover.

TMDaines · Oct 30, 2019

10/11, as I had Martial instead of Lingard. Mentality is right: strong team with no excuses for not getting the result.

Martial just came back from injury, it makes sense that he's not overused.

Gasolin · Oct 30, 2019

What's Chelsea line up? Are they really just playing kids?

Lampard's taking a risk with your line-up isn't he? Your team looks soft at the back to me. Looking forward to Rashford & James testing it early doors.

The way Chelsea play with a high line the pace of Rashford and James will be suited. They don't overly need to be crate given they'll be afforded tons of space to run into.

No Martial makes sense given he just came back from injury. Let's see if we will be able to rely on counters for chance creation, I think it may turn out that way with Chelsea being the home side...

2 x 18 year olds (CHO and Gilmour) and 2 x 19 year olds (James and Guehi).

i consider Wan-Bissaka, Williams, James, Rashford and Lingard all as upcoming yoof.

Damien · Oct 30, 2019

Gasolin said:

Mixed. Zouma, Alonso, Jorginho, Kovacic, CHO and Pulisic from their frequent players. James, Guehi, Gilmour as the clear youth (though pretty sure James will break through this season).

Hughie77 · Oct 30, 2019

Same set up as partizan away, pool at home, 3 at the back, 2 wing backs AWB , Brandon Williams, hope he has another good game. Away at the Bridge good grounding for the young ones. James as well big game for him too.

Close game I can see could go iether way.

Not sure about taking a risk, it's the league cup. I doubt he'd lose any sleep if we lose tonight.

I think the only weak link in our defence is Alonso!

always_hoping · Oct 30, 2019

Six changes to the Chelsea starting 11.

Out Arrizabalaga,Azpilicueta,Tomori,Mount,Willian,Abraham. In Caballero, James, Guehi, Gilmour, Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi
