Chelsea’s dominant 8-0 win over Noah in the Europa Conference League has boosted their morale ahead of their crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal this Sunday. Currently sitting fourth in the table, a win would bring them closer to the top, offering a prime opportunity to secure three points against a struggling Arsenal side.
In terms of team selection, Robert Sanchez is expected to return in goal, while Axel Disasi, despite a solid performance, is likely to make way for Malo Gusto at right-back. The central defense will see Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill replace Benoit Badiashile and Tosin Adarabioyo, with Reece James moving to his regular left-back position, pushing Renato Veiga to the bench.
In midfield, Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo are expected to continue their partnership, with Enzo Fernandez, despite his good form, set to start on the bench.
Up front, Chelsea are concerned about Cole Palmer’s fitness following an injury in the Manchester United match. If he’s not fit in time, either Christopher Nkunku or Joao Felix will likely replace him. With Jadon Sancho also doubtful, Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke are expected to operate on the wings, supporting Nicolas Jackson, who will lead the attack.
