Confirmed Starts for Kepa and Gilmour – Predicted Chelsea Xl vs Krasnodar #CHEKRA

Chelsea have another Champions League match tomorrow evening against Krasnodar at Stamford Bridge.

They can relax a little bit having already won their group by thrashing Sevilla last week. However, Frank Lampard will be setting up to win the match once again, but I do expect some key players to be rested.

Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both out injured, which is a real shame for the latter as he would have been in line to start.

However, Lampard did confirm today in his press conference that both Billy Gilmour and Kepa Arrizabalaga will be starting the match tomorrow night, which means I don’t have to predict the whole line up!

So with some rotation in mind, whilst still going out to win the match, here is our predicted line up..

(4-3-3) – Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Emerson. Jorginho, Gilmour, Havertz. Werner, Abraham, Pulisic.

We could see a couple of youngsters in the squad such as Henry Lawrence or Faustino Anjorin, and there is a chance one or both of these will start or get minutes at least
