3-4-3 Formation, Willian Starts In Chelsea’s Probable Lineup Vs Stoke City

Chelsea had been impressive this season so far, and the west London club are firm favourites to win the title this season. Apart from being ten points clear off second-placed Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the premier league table, the Stamford Bridge club have a team difficult to beat.

Right now, Chelsea new Italian manager Antonio Conte looks set to win a double in his first season at the club – The Premier League Title and The FA Cup.

The former Juventus coach has successfully progressed his side into the semi-finals of the FA Cup following their 1-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

The premier league leaders now pay attention to the premier league once again, as they play Stoke City in an away game on Saturday. Stoke City were able to share points with Manchester City in their last premier league game, and we wonder if The Potters will be able to stop Antonio Conte’s side from winning as well.

Currently, no Chelsea player is suspended for the west London club, but one of their vital players is out with injury.

Nigerian star player Victor Moses is expected to miss the Stoke match due to a calf injury. Right since when Antonio Conte introduced new patterns to the team, the attacker has been influential in the current term as a right wing-back.

Nevertheless in his absence, it is likely that Willian will start. If the Brazilian international should start the game, it will translate into his first PL game since last January. The Samba star may start in the attack with the duo of Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, while former Barcelona man  Pedro Rodriguez may start in the right wing-back position.

So, here is Chelsea’s strongest possible 3-4-3 XI in the clash against Stoke City.

GK – Courtois

DC – Cahill

DC – Luiz

DC – Azpilicueta

ML – Alonso

MC – Cesc

MC – Kante

MR – Pedro

WL – Hazard

WR – Willian

FC – Costa
