Chelsea will entertain Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night as they look to secure a win at home in the UEFA Champions League. The Blues managed to earn a solid 2-0 victory over Burnley recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Enzo Maresca will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a couple of tweaks to his first XI for this clash. Both Moises Caicedo and Alejandro Garnacho could play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Barcelona
Defence
Robert Sanchez will function in between the sticks for the Blues after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Trevoh Chalobah will operate alongside Tosin Adarabioyo at the heart of the Chelsea backline as they look to keep a solid shape when defending inside their half.
Reece James will fill in as the right-back, while Marc Cucurella hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Benoit Badiashile and Malo Gusto will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez will anchor the midfield for the Blues as they look to make life difficult for the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto will play just ahead of them as part of the Chelsea attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Blues are to come out on top in midweek.
Andrey Santos and Estevao will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Liam Delap will lead the line for the West London club in the final third. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in and around the Barcelona penalty area.
Marc Guiu will make up the numbers on the bench as he awaits his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the Blues are in need of a goal by then.
