Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Marcos Alonso
Expect to see a strong Chelsea back line this evening with the Blues boasting few stand-in’s from the youth ranks with Ola Aina probably the only starlet in contention having started against Bristol Rovers.
But we feel that the defensive selection will centre around new boy Marcos Alonso who should make his debut at left back with Cesar Azpilicueta reverting to right back where he started his career of course.
In the middle, David Luiz and Gary Cahill will partner up again with Kurt Zouma still unavailable and John Terry still in the midst of his recovery from injury ahead of hoping to make the eleven for the weekend’s game at Arsenal.
