Chelsea will face off against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a positive result in the FA Cup final. The Blues managed to earn a solid 1-1 draw away at Liverpool, which should give them some confidence ahead of this cup game.
The West London club will set themselves up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and are expected to make some changes to their first team for this game. Robert Sanchez, Pedro Neto and Reece James could all play from the start of this contest.
4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Manchester City
Defence
Robert Sanchez will feature in between the sticks for the Blues as he looks to keep a clean sheet at Wembley this weekend. Wesley Fofana will play alongside Levi Colwill at the centre of the Chelsea backline as they look to keep the opposition at bay during the 90 minutes.
Reece James could get the nod to start at right-back, while Marc Cucurella hopes to put in a solid performance on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well before trying to offer support to their teammates up top.
Tosin Adarabioyo will be named on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Andrey Santos and Moises Caicedo will operate as the holding midfielders as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer will function just ahead of them as part of the Chelsea attack. All three of them need to be at the top of their game if the Blues are to stand a chance of securing a win in the FA Cup final this weekend.
Romeo Lavia will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Joao Pedro will spearhead the West London club’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real menace in and around the Man City penalty area.
Liam Delap will be available for selection on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the final quarter of the game if required.
