Fernandez, Caicedo And Pedro To Start | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup Vs Tottenham Hotspur | OneFootball

Chelsea will clash heads with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday as they hope to secure a positive result in the London derby. The Blues managed to earn a hard-fought 4-3 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Enzo Maresca will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation once again and is expected to revert to his strongest XI for this clash. Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro could all play from the start of this game.

4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Tottenham Hotspur

Defence

Robert Sanchez will feature in goal for the Blues after being rested in midweek. Tosin Adarabioyo will operate alongside Trevoh Chalobah at the heart of the Chelsea backline as they look to maintain a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.

Reece James will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Marc Cucurella looks to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves in the Tottenham half.

Jorrel Hato and Josh Acheampong will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo will fill in as the holding midfielders as they focus on making life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto will operate just ahead of them as part of Maresca’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Blues are to secure a convincing win in the London derby this weekend.

Andrey Santos and Romeo Lavia will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Marc Guiu will lead the line for the West London club up top. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat up top.

Tyrique George will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if Chelsea are in need of a goal by then.
