Enzo Maresca has made five changes to his Chelsea side for tonight’s Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road.
We head into the contest third in the Premier League table following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with leaders Arsenal. Moises Caicedo was sent off in the first half of that game and suspended this evening. Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo also miss out due to injury.
With the games coming thick and fast, Maresca has opted to rotate his squad for the clash with the Whites, who sit 18th in the table.
Robert Sanchez continues in goal for the Blues and is expected to be protected by a back four that consists of Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Marc Cucurella.
Andrey Santos comes into the Chelsea midfield in the absence of Caicedo and will be partnered by Enzo Fernandez, who wears the captain’s armband.
Estevao Willian keeps his place in the attack, as does compatriot Joao Pedro, although he is expected to be deployed in a deeper role. Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap come into the side and complete our forward line.
Chelsea: Sanchez; Chalobah, Tosin, Badiashile, Cucurella; Andrey Santos, Enzo (c); Estevao Willian, Joao Pedro, Gittens; Delap
Chelsea substitutes: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Gusto, James, Hato, Neto, Garnacho, Palmer, Guiu
