Chelsea's Tactical Blueprint: Predicted Starting XI Vs Newcastle United

Written By Albert Echatah

Chelsea is heading to Tyneside for an epic EPL match against Newcastle United, and their manager, Maresca, is focusing on keeping their winning streak going rather than resting players.

Enzo Maresca has stated his goals rather clearly. Despite its rotation and adolescent debuts, the midweek European match accomplished its goals of advancement and preservation.

However, on Sunday, Chelsea will enter St. James’ Park with their most cutting-edge equipment and most aggressive mindset. There is little space for experimentation while playing a Newcastle team that is currently ahead of them in the Premier League standings by the smallest of margins in terms of goals scored.

“This is one of our three finals,” Maresca said, acknowledging the stakes. Champions League qualification is still within reach. But to get there, Chelsea must first bypass Eddie Howe’s well-drilled Newcastle, who have made Tyneside a formidable fortress this season.

The only player predicted to escape the drastic alterations following Thursday’s victory against Djurgarden in the Conference League semi-final is Marc Cucurella. The Spaniard will probably return to his more comfortable position at left-back after playing in midfield during the week.

After being rested for the European match, Robert Sanchez is back in goal. Cole Palmer will play a key role in Chelsea’s assault once more after scoring his first goal since January in the thrilling 3-1 victory over Liverpool. It is also expected that Nicolas Jackson, who is frequently erratic but always enthusiastic, will start.

Romeo Lavia, who was at last healthy and displaying signs of promise, was teamed with Enzo Fernandez in the midfield. Moises Caicedo may return to his unconventional but successful position at right-back, according to Maresca’s hints.

When asked about choosing the team, Maresca responded: “Yes, we’ll see it. The first match against Djurgarden also gave us a little bit of a chance to rotate and to protect players. We’ll see.”

Chelsea Predicted XI Vs Newcastle United: Sanchez; Caicedo, Colwill, Chalobah, Cucurella; Lavia, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Jackson
