Predicted Chelsea XI vs Man City: Cucurella starts in 4-2-3-1 formation
Right Wing: Cole Palmer (England)
His impact simply cannot be put into words. Let’s be honest, majority of the Chelsea fans did not expect the 21 year old to achieve what he already has at the club this early. He is undoubtedly one of the first names on the team sheet and will be looking forward to facing his former teammates. Palmer has also been working off the field as he has started learning Spanish to communicate with some of his staff and teammates better.
Left Wing: Raheem Sterling (England)
After investigating the ‘celebration incident’ the FA have decided that a ban would not be necessary and the Englishman will be allowed to face his former club . Sterling has exceeded expectations so far after his horrendous performances last season. He looks much more confident and is amongst the goals. The attack heavily relies on his experience and he will be expected to step up against the defending champions and table toppers who organize their defence very well.
Striker: Nicolas Jackson (Senegal)
The Senegalese International has admitted that he hasn’t had an easy start at the club. But his hat-trick against Spurs could be the turning point. Pochettino will be fielding him hoping that he can carry that momentum into the next game. Sources at Chelsea say Nicolas Jackson exudes confidence. The striker is relaxed, likeable, humble and approachable according to those inside Cobham.
