This is the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their Premier League clash with Ipswich Town as part of the Sunday trio of games. The Blues strolled to a win over Legia on Thursday and will come into this with rested legs and momentum behind them as they remain unbeaten since the end of the international break.
Robert Sanchez starts in goal as expected. Before him is a back line with Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Coilwill, and Marc Cucurella. Moises Caicedo partners Enzo Fernandez in the defensive midfield spot with Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, and Nicolas Jackson completing the front four.
There’s a heap of cavalry on the bench in Reece James, Malo Gusto, Jadon Sancho, Tyrique George, Josh Acheampong, and others.
The manager has gone with a three centre-back lineup with Chalobah presumably at right-back while Tosin partners Colwill. This may have been a decision made to counter Liam Delap and his physicality but the striker has been named on the bench so this lineup may suffer against a different kind of attack than they were anticipating.
Madueke gets the nod on the wing with Neto back out on the left in a more comfortable setup for both, this comes after a string of underwhelming Sancho performances. Jackson of course is back in as the striker after Christopher Nkunku offered little to nothing in that role against Brentford and Legia.
Palmer, Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Cajuste, Johnson, Enciso, Clarke, Hirst
Stay tuned for the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their Premier League outing against Ipswich. There will be news as well as discussions on who starts, who was dropped, and any tweaks we may see. The Tractor Boys got the win in the reverse fixture so keep your eyes on this one for a potential upset.
