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

Mykhailo Mudryk (No. 10) Right winger, Ukraine

Mudryk has been excellent in the Conference League, particularly against Panathinaikos, where he scored once and provided two assists. You can expect him to make a similar impact in this game, if not a stronger one.

João Félix (No. 14) Central attacking midfielder, Portugal

Félix was fantastic in his last Conference League appearance, scoring twice. While he has been inconsistent in terms of chance creation, this match presents an opportunity to improve in that area.

Jadon Sancho (No. 19) Left winger, England

Sancho has seen his place in the Premier League lineup taken by Pedro Neto, but he’ll have a chance to earn some minutes here. It will be difficult to make a convincing case for reclaiming his starting spot, but this is his opportunity to try.

Christopher Nkunku (No. 18) Center forward, France

No Chelsea player has scored more goals than Nkunku, which is impressive given that he’s only been getting limited minutes since the start of the season. He scored a hat trick in the EFL Cup against Barrow and should have a similar impact in this game.
