3-4-3 Formation, ‘Surprise Midfielder’ Set To Feature In Chelsea’s Probable Line Against Tottenham

Premier league champions Chelsea lost their first English top flight game of the new season at home to Burnley last week. After the shocking 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge, the Blues will now face Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

As far as Chelsea team news is concerned, the Pedro Rodriguez, Eden Hazard and Tiemoue Bakayoko are still out injured – even though there are speculations that the Frenchman might start from the bench following the closed-door friendly game against QPR on Thursday.

Last time against Burnley, both Cahill and Fabregas were shown the red card and won’t be playing against Tottenham. So, we are expecting to see some reshuffle in Antonio Conte’s squad against Spurs.

The Italian manager is expected to give Andreas Christensen a start at Wembley, to form the back three with Antonio Rudiger and Cesar Azpilicueta.

Nigerian star player Victor Moses should make a return to the starting XI following his absence from the Burnley game as a result of the red card shown to him during Chelsea’s FA Cup loss to Arsenal last season.

Also, the manager is expected to convert David Luiz into the midfield role to partner with French star N’Golo Kante in the center of the park.

Upfront, we are expecting to see the trio of Michy Batshuayi, Willian and Alvaro Morata.

Here is the blues strongest possible 3-4-3 XI vs Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

GK – Courtois
DC – Rudiger
DC – Christensen
DC – Cesar
ML – Alonso
MC – Luiz
