With their latest win over Leicester City in the Premier League, Chelsea find themselves on the third spot on the points table. They are just one point away from Manchester City and nine points off the table-topper Liverpool.
The Blues will next lock horns with Heidenheim in the Europa Conference League on Wednesday night. Enzo Maresca’s side is at the top of the points table with three wins in three outings. They would like to continue their domination and collect another three points.
4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup Vs Heidenheim
Defence
Filip Jorgensen is likely to operate between the sticks replacing Robert Sanchez. Wesley Fofana should also make way for Axel Disasi in the right-back position.
Enzo Maresca has a shortage of men on the defensive line, and Reece James has suffered a hamstring injury. On the other hand, Malo Gusto is down with illness while Levi Colwill could be rested. Hence, fans can expect to see Benoit Badiashile and Tosin Adarabioyo playing as the centre-backs.
At the left-back spot, Renato Veiga could be deployed at the expense of Marc Cucurella.
Midfield
Moises Caicedo is likely to be retained in the middle of the park. But Enzo Fernandez could be swapped for Tyrique George.
Attack
Joao Felix should be retained in the attacking unit and operate in the central spaces. However, the Blues are likely to make changes in the remaining positions.
While Christopher Nkunku takes onto the field as the right winger, Mykhailo Mudryk should be taking care of the left flank. Nicolas Jackson is likely to get the well-deserving rest and his spot should be grabbed by Marc Guiu.
Pedro Neto suffered a blow during the international break and wasn’t included in the previous game. While he might not start this game, he is certainly in line to get some minutes.
