4. Team Lineup
Pedro Neto leading the line had its positives against Aston Villa. However, player fitness and the opposition's setup will influence whether Enzo Maresca sticks with a similar approach on Tuesday. Reports suggest Wesley Fofana could be fit ahead of the match, and his return would be a welcome boost if he is ready to start.
Filip Jorgensen needs to deliver a strong performance after his mistake led to Aston Villa’s opening goal on Saturday. Players like Josh Acheampong and Tyrique George could also be in contention to start, given that several senior players struggled at Villa Park.
5. Cole Palmer
Despite being one of Chelsea’s standout players over the past two months, Cole Palmer’s recent output has been below his usual high standards. His frustration, both with his teammates and his own lack of confidence, has been evident in recent matches.
Playing at home against the league’s bottom side presents him with the perfect opportunity to get himself and the team back on track. Chelsea needs their talisman at his best.
