Mauricio Pochettino needs a great victory with Chelsea in the game of the Blues against the Championship team Preston North End in the third round of the FA Cup, a competition where the manager could recover the image of his club and try to compete to lift a trophy this season. With this goal in mind, the Argentine manager set his best lineup for the team to make a great impact in the clash.

Chelsea’s manager set a midfield composed by the duo Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, who returned to the lineup for the game alongside Sterling and Mudryk, the members of the forward line of the Blues for the clash alongside Cole Palmer with Armando Broja up front.

Another great news in the team managed by Pochettino was the presence of the 20-year-old center back Alfie Gilchrist, labeled as the next John Terry coming from the club’s academy, who will be leading the team’s defense with Axel Disasi. Meanwhile, Pochettino left several transferable players on the bench such as Ian Maatsen, Conor Gallagher, or Thiago Silva, who could be living his last season with the Blues.

Chelsea to recover their best level and advance in the competition

Chelsea will try to achieve a victory to recover their best level with the following lineup: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Gilchrist, Colwill; Enzo, Caicedo; Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk; Broja. On the bench, Mauricio Pochettino will have the following players: Bettinelli, Bergström, Thiago Silva, Williams, Maatsen, Gallagher, Golding, Madueke, Washington.
