Chelsea Predicted XI vs Noah: Nkunku set to start in pivotal 4-2-3-1

Chelsea leads the UEFA Europa Conference League table in points, goals, and goal difference, and that's after beating one of the more difficult teams Enzo Maresca's men are expected to face in the tournament. While the team’s finishing in this competition has been far from perfect, dominating like this is a testament to how manageable the games have been.

Chelsea welcomes Noah to Stamford Bridge for the third match of the League Phase of the Conference League. While the Blues should be able to get the job done with whatever lineup is put forward, here’s who the Pride of London expects to start:

Filip Jørgensen (No. 12) Goalkeeper, Denmark

Jørgensen performed well in his last Conference League appearance for Chelsea against Panathinaikos, despite not keeping a clean sheet. His distribution was decent, though his long passing was subpar. The general consensus among the fanbase is that the 22-year-old shot-stopper should remain as the backup keeper for now.

Axel Disasi (No. 2) Right back, France

Disasi faced heavy criticism after Chelsea’s defeat to Newcastle United last week. While it’s understandable to be frustrated after being knocked out of the EFL Cup, much of the criticism seemed to be confirmation bias.

Tosin Adarabioyo (No. 4) Centerback, England

Adarabioyo also came under scrutiny after the Newcastle game, but frankly, no one covered themselves in glory that night. His ability to read the game and his distribution will be crucial against Noah, and this is a match where the former Fulham center-back should shine.
