Chelsea Predicted lineup vs Gent – As Enzo Maresca set to start 18-year-old star
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca will make changes as the club kicks off its European season tonight.
The Blues face Gent in the Conference League group stages, with many players on the verge of breaking into the starting lineup hoping to make an impression.
Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, and Romeo Lavia will not participate because they have not yet been selected for the squad.
The predicted starting XI is shown below.
Filip Jorgensen; Josh Acheampong, Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Renato Veiga; Romeo Lavia, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; Pedro Neto, Carney Chukwuemeka, Mykhailo Mudryk; Christopher Nkunku.
Chelsea247 understands that, with Malo Gusto just returning from injury, Maresca will give 18-year-old Josh Acheampong his debut start for the club at right-back.
Furthermore, Enzo Maresca’s team has won its last four matches, scoring 13 goals. They are now the Premier League’s highest-scoring side, sitting fourth in the table, two points behind champions Liverpool.
They host Gent, who have won three of their past four games and are third in the Belgian Pro League after nine games this season.
