Home All Sports Neto And Delap To Start | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup Vs Tottenham...
Chelsea will welcome Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge this Tuesday night as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Blues suffered a tough 1-0 loss at the hands of Manchester City in the FA Cup final recently, so they would be eager to put in a much-improved showing versus Spurs this week.
The West London club will set themselves up in a 4-2-3-1 formation once again and are expected to make a couple of changes to their first team for this game. Pedro Neto and Liam Delap could get the nod to play from the start of this contest, while Reece James and Joao Pedro make way for them and drop to the bench.
Defence
Robert Sanchez will play in goal for the Blues after conceding one goal in his last outing. Wesley Fofana will continue to feature alongside Levi Colwill at the heart of the Chelsea backline as they look to keep the Tottenham attackers at bay during the 90 minutes.
Malo Gusto will once again fill in as the right-back, while Jorrel Hato looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Trevoh Chalobah and Josh Acheampong will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Moises Caicedo will anchor the midfield along with Enzo Fernandez as they look to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and engineer some decent opportunities in the final third.
The talented trio of Marc Cucurella, Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto will play just ahead of them as part of Chelsea’s attack. All three of them need to move the ball well if they are to create enough chances to win this London derby.
Andrey Santos and Alejandro Garnacho will be available for selection on the bench as they await their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Liam Delap will lead the charge for the West London club up top. He has to find a way to be a real menace inside the Tottenham penalty area this Tuesday night.
Joao Pedro will be named on the bench if he can pass a late fitness test and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if needed.
