The starting Xl Enzo Maresca could go for against Bournemouth – Talk Chelsea

The international break is over and Chelsea are back!

I think we actually all need this right now after a dramatic international break. Usually they are so boring that everyone starts debating Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, or Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard (the answers are Messi and Lampard by the way, but yeah).

This international break saw drama, annoyance, and frustrations for Chelsea fans once again, so I think a game to focus on is a good thing!

The Blues travel to Bournemouth to play against a very tough side to beat, especially on their own pitch.

The home side have not lost yet this season and we know this is not going to be an easy game to play.

Enzo Maresca has some big decisions to make with the starting Xl, with some key players out injured, especially at right back.

It’s a tough prediction to make, but this is me having a go at it:

And then on the ball, Moises Caicedo inverting in to midfield…

I have a feeling Cole Palmer might be rested from the start but introduced later, so I think Joao Felix comes in for him over Christopher Nkunku, but it could be the latter.

Then in midfield I can see Renato Veiga coming in to play as the defensive midfielder, with Moises Caicedo joining him from an inverted right back position.

Noni Madueke keeps his starting place because he has started very well, so that means Jadon Sancho is likely to be used off the bench for his debut with Pedro Neto occupying the left wing position.

The rest I believe, especially with Filip Jorgensen’s injury as well now, picks itself!

I think we will draw this game. If we win it will be narrowly. That’s how I see it going.
