Chelsea team news: Expected Blues XI vs Liverpool, Maurizio Sarri to go with this 4-3-3?

CHELSEA face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night - but who will Maurizio Sarri select to start the match?

Chelsea go away to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup this Wednesday

“After a perfect start, Chelsea dropped points for the first time in the Premier League away at West Ham on Sunday”


After a perfect start to the new campaign, Chelsea dropped points for the first time in the Premier League away at London rivals West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers frustrated Sarri’s men at the London Stadium; with the likes of Eden Hazard, Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata missing key chances for the away side.

Ross Barkley also came close to snatching an extra two points for them when his long-range effort was denied by Lukasz Fabianski late on.

Now the Blues must switch their attention to the Carabao Cup for the first of two clashes with league leaders Liverpool this week.

The first comes in two days’ time when Sarri takes his side to Anfield, and the Italian is expected to make several changes ahead of the more-crucial league encounter on Saturday evening.

Willy Caballero should start in goal, coming in for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

At the back, Davide Zappacosta and Emerson Palmieri - reportedly seething after being left out of the Blues’ winning side away at PAOK in the Europa League last Thursday - should flank a centre-back pairing of Gary Cahill and Andreas Christensen.

Cahill, captain and instrumental in their title win under Antonio Conte a mere two years ago, has struggled to work his way into Sarri’s plans thus far.

Eden Hazard is likely to be rested

Callum Hudson-Odoi could get a start

However, he replaced an injured Antonio Rudiger at West Ham on Sunday and is likely to get the nod in this one.

A midfield trio of Danny Drinkwater, Jorginho and Ross Barkley is expected.

They should sit just behind a front three of Willian on the right, youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi on the left and Alvaro Morata through the middle.

That fixture gets underway at 7:45pm on Wednesday night.

Supratim Biswas former I am still studing.. 2w ago Thanks for A2A.. Cristiano Ronaldo is the new captain of Real Madrid There's no doubt that  Cristiano Ronaldo  is playing some of the best football of his career and as a reward, Real Madrid have handed him the captain's armband. In the absence of Alvaro Arbeloa, recently transferred to West Ham United, Los Blancos needed a fourth captain and the Portuguese has assumed the role. He joins Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo in the quartet 'responsible' for the first team. Ronaldo came to Madrid in the summer of 2009 and is beginning his eighth season in the all-white. A veteran of the squad, he's earned the right to be bestowed with the honour of leading the team. Asif Nawaz studied at Lahore University of Management Sciences 2w ago On several occasions.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is ready for a busy summer transfer window. And according to the  Guardian , Lampard is eyeing another three signings as the Blues eye a Premier League title charge next season. Chelsea boss Lampard could sign Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell, West Ham's Declan Rice and Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen Chilwell is Lampard's top target to slot in at left-back. The Blues boss has concerns over Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri - and England international Chilwell could be Chelsea's starting left-back for years to come. Chilwell's England team-mate Rice has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The 21-year-old can play at centre-back or as a defensive midfielder. Rice's versatility is appealing to Lampard, who is considering a summer bid. Finally, is Bayer Leverkusen's Havertz. The Germany international would be Chelsea's most expensive summer signing if the playmaker heads to Stamford Bridge. The Blues could be forced t...

Liverpool make final Thiago transfer decision with Man Utd and Arsenal interested

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich this summer. “We never had any contact with Liverpool. If he wants to go there, we will have to deal with it.” Liverpool have already hinted that they won't have much money to spend in the summer transfer window having pulled out of negotiations to sign top target Timo Werner. The Reds weren't prepared to meet Werner's release clause, hinting the coronavirus pandemic has left the club re-evaluating their finances ahead of the transfer window opening. With that in mind, Spanish football expert Guillem Balague doesn't think Liverpool would splash out £31m to sign Thiago this summer. Jurgen Klopp also has an abundance of midfield options with Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita all fighting for a spot in the starting line-up. However, he adds that Thiago could be interested in a move to either  Manchester United  or  A...
