Predicted Chelsea line-up vs Napoli tonight

Chelsea take on Napoli on the road in the final league phase game of the Champions League campaign.

The Blues are currently eight in the league standings and must beat Napoli to qualify directly for the last 16.

Ahead of the game, manager Liam Rosenior could make some changes from the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Robert Sanchez is an undisputed starter in goal for the west London side.

In defence, Reece James and Marc Cucurella are expected to line up in the full-back positions. Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah should slot in the heart of the backline.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are guaranteed to start in the heart of the midfield, while Cole Palmer could make his comeback in the number 10 role after missing the derby.

In the final third, Rosenior may rely on the experienced Pedro Neto on the right wing with Alejandro Garnacho on the opposite end. Joao Pedro looks poised to lead the line again.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Napoli: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; Pedro.
