Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Leeds United, Sterling starts
Chelsea will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host Leeds United in the FA Cup fifth round tonight.
The London giants recently suffered huge disappointment as they were beaten by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
Mauricio Pochettino will be eyeing a strong response from his side in the FA Cup which is now their only chance for a trophy this term.
Predicted Line-up:
Djordje Petrovic has been ever-present in goal for a number of months and he is likely to get the nod ahead of Robert Sanchez between the sticks after making several key saves in the Carabao Cup final.
The defence should also stay unchanged. Malo Gusto and Ben Chilwell are set to continue in the right and left-back roles with Axel Disasi partnering Levi Colwill in the heart of the backline.
Similarly, we should see an identical and familiar midfield. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caiceod are set to continue in their defensive roles with Conor Gallagher operating from the number 10 spot.
In attack, there could be a solitary change. Cole Palmer could play as the false number nine with Nicolas Jackson dropping to the bench. We fancy Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke on the flanks.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Gallagher, Sterling; Palmer.
