Chelsea will entertain Luton Town at Stamford Bridge this Friday night as they hope to earn a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Blues suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham United recently, so they would be eager to collect maximum points from this home clash.
Mauricio Pochettino will opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation and could make one change to his first XI for this game. Moises Caicedo is expected to play from the start of this game in the injury absence of Carney Chukwuemeka.
3-4-2-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Luton Town
Defence
Robert Sanchez will feature in goal for the Blues after shipping in three goals in his last outing. Pochettino will once again go with a back three of Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill as they look to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.
Marc Cucurella will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez will anchor the midfield for the West London club as they look to move the ball well and create some decent chances in the final third.
Ben Chilwell will function as the left-sided wide player while Malo Gusto fills in on the other side as the right wing-back. Both of them will get the license to get in behind the Luton backline at every chance they get.
Conor Gallagher and Raheem Sterling are expected to operate as the free-flowing attacking midfielders in the opponent’s half. Both of them need would have link-up play well and carry most of the creative workload for the Blues in the final third.
Ian Maatsen and Noni Madueke will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Nicolas Jackson will lead the charge for the Blues on the attacking third of the pitch. He would be eager to catch the eye by producing an influential performance at Stamford Bridge this Friday night.
Mykhailo Mudryk will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Chelsea are in need of a goal by then.
