Chelsea Starting XI vs AC Milan: Predicted Lineup and Confirmed Team News | OneFootball

Estevao Set for Stamford Bridge Showcase as Chelsea Meet Milan

Chelsea supporters will again turn their attention to Brazilian prodigy Estevao when the Blues host Milan in their final pre-season encounter of the summer. The teenager’s debut could hardly have been more emphatic, scoring in the 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Friday, and the 18-year-old is now poised for another opportunity to impress under the lights at Stamford Bridge.

Selection Shuffles Expected

With two matches in quick succession, Chelsea are anticipated to rotate heavily. Cole Palmer is tipped to start after being withdrawn at half-time against Leverkusen, while Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo and Trevoh Chalobah are also in line for more minutes. Filip Jorgensen’s full 90 minutes on Friday is likely to see Robert Sanchez take over in goal, with Gabriel Slonina among the substitutes.

Fringe Players Pushing for Starts

Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Reece James and Pedro Neto will all be hoping to stake their claims after limited involvement last time out. Captain Enzo Fernandez, the only outfield player unused on Friday, is expected to lead from midfield.

Predicted XI: Sanchez, James, Chalobah, Tosin, Cucurella, Fernandez, Caicedo, Gittens, Palmer, Neto, Joao Pedro.Kick-off: 3pm BST, Sunday 10 August 2025.
