Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has named his starting line-up for the club's Premier League opener against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues had an average pre-season with multiple defeats, but they will be aiming for a strong start to the league campaign against the holders.
Ahead of the game, Maresca has named an impressive starting XI.
Robert Sanchez will start in goal ahead of summer signing Filip Jorgensen as we predicted.
In defence, Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella start in the right and left-back positions respectively.
Wesley Fofana has got the nod alongside Levi Colwill in the heart of the backline today.
It is a strong looking midfield with Romeo Lavia partnered by Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez is most likely to operate from the attacking midfield role.
Christopher Nkunku starts on the left wing with Cole Palmer operating from the right flank.
Nicolas Jackson has got the nod up front ahead of new signing Marc Guiu.
Jackson and Nkunku could interchange places and we should know more when the game starts.
Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Nkunku; Jackson.
