Predicted Chelsea starting XI for Brighton friendly: Colwill starts in 4-2-3-1
Central Midfield: Cesare Casadei (Italy)
Almost every CFC player that played against the Robins looked promising but Casadei was undoubtedly one of the best. He looked comfortable on the ball and made some beautiful passes, out of which one ended up in the back of the net. Pochettino would be itching to put him on the field again and then make a decision about his future.
Central Midfield: Enzo Fernandez (Argentina)
Assuming that the Argentine was left out to give the younger lads a go against a relatively weaker opposition, he should be back in the squad for the upcoming friendlies. His ability to take control of the midfield would help Casadei play freely and get into advanced positions often.
