Last game in the Conference league "league phase".

All we need is a point to top the table.

 

Play Veiga for a half just to keep his sharpness up for Sunday. 

As neto played last week when banned for the league I expect Cucu does the same this week:

 

Jorgensen 

 

Acheampong 

Disasi

Badiashile 

Cucurella 

 

KDH

Casadei

 

George

Nkunku

Mudryk (Felix if not fit)

 

Guiu

Maresca mentioned both lavia and felix will be coming back. So i wouldn't be surprised if he gave them both minutes in prep for the next game.

Cucu is so vital for our season, I wouldn't even risk him. Keep training and come back ready for Fulham.

Haha Mart Poom's son plays for them.

I would, Lavia is not in the Conference league squad  ;)

Well no Mudryk then. Felix you are up.

 

I wonder if we have January moves sorted out for Carney and Casadei 

Would be nice to see Paddy Mulligan in the crowd.

Expect heavy rotation and a similar side that played in Kazakhstan.

Jorgensen 

Acheampong Disasi Viega Cucu
KDH Ra-Saki
George Carney Casadei
Guiu

A little unbalanced up top, but I don't think we'll see any true first team squad members risk given the PL Christmas schedule, position, and general increase in injuries and suspensions.  Only caveat would be Viega limited to 45 mins, and maybe 45 mins at most for Nkunku and/or Felix. 

Acheampong will start as a reward for new contract, the need to rotate, and they just updated his player profile, so that makes it a guarantee!

Might see one of the youngsters who went to Kazakhstan step in at RB, with Acheampong moving to CB, his primary position.

Is Richard Olise a right back?

 

Hmm club website lists him as a defender only, just like it does for Josh.

If we are looking to save players for Everton, and the Christmas run in, maybe we will see something like:

 

Jorgensen

 

Olise

Acheampong 

Disasi

Cucurella

 

Casadei

Rak-Sakyi 

 

George 

KDH

Vale

 

Guiu

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Jorgensen

Acheampong  Disasi  Tosin  Veiga

Rak-Sakyi  Chukwuemeka

George  Nkunku  Felix

Guiu

 

Would be tempted to give Cucurella 45 mins to keep up match sharpness seeing as he won't be playing at the weekend. Casadei could probably start too but i'd rather see Rak-Sakyi get minutes over him. 

Realistically KDH probably starts this one too but don't really see the point. Youth players are genuinely better than him, 

I wouldn't risk Cucurella at all. Dude has played plenty of football what with the Euros and so forth.

The training ground videos Chelsea release on YouTube are a good indicator of the squad for the upcoming game. A young training unit, but also included Cucurella, Viega, Nkunku, Felix, Neto and KDH. Expect any and all of them to feature in some combination. Hopefully limited minutes for Neto and Felix.

Probably the bench.

I really want George to show us something today. He's been a bit disappointing so far.
