We will get over run if we dont have someone purely doing the defensive midfield role. Worked well with Lalana taking over from Bissouma. All our midfielders left are attacking players so who is going to do that role now Lalana injured. ? He has not looked great recently but can only think it will be Gross although my choice would be Veltman

Heard rumour Dunk out for another three weeks got a niggle in training, not sure about Lallana having come off on Friday.
For me I would go Webster, Veltman and Webster with Lamptey and Cucurella pushing on. I would like to see March start as he's been excellent of late but not sure how to get him in.
How close is Enoch to returning?

He does get everywhere to be fair, good shout

Assuming Dunk, Lallana and Mwepu don’t play:

————————Sanchez;
—Veltman - Webster - Burn - Cucurella;
Lamptey - Moder - Mac Allister - March;
—————-Maupay - Welbeck.

Think Trossard could do with a rest and I want to see Welbeck on the end of Lamptey and March’s crosses. Tross a great sub to bring on 2nd half too.

Agree with Tross….and it’s always good to have an ‘impact’ player on the bench

Lampty Welbeck Dunk/? Cucrella
Veltman
Gross Moder MaCallister
Maupay Trossard

Have a feeling will rest Maupay and give Welbeck a game. Also maybe March for Gross

Welbeck could start but dont think he will play as central defender.

Veltman as DMC is interesting and not completely to be ruled out tbh, GP said last year he could he play in that role.

I suppose with 2 at ANC, injuries and 10 plus out on loan could apply for game to be called off. I am sure Arsenal would

Swap Groß for Veltman. 3-4-1-2

Triangles all over the pitch to break their lines.

Trossard has to play. On his day he is unplayable, and a pleasure to watch.

Close but I'd go

Sanchez

Veltman, Webster, Burn

Lamptey, Moder, Mac, Cucu

Trossard

Welbz, Maupay

Against a lot of opponents I would agree but I dont think Potter is going to play two central midfielders against their three when Bissouma, Mwepu and (probably) Lallana are all out. Moder and Mac are likely to start with a third player which I suspect will be either Gross or Alzate (50/50 chance).

I get your point and it's probably the way the GP will go, however Chelski have been in such poor form recently, I really believe that we could capitalise on it.

Chelsea will play with 3 CB's and only 1 centre forward in an attempt to flood the centre of midfield our best chances may come from forcing them back. I imagine Potter will play a similar formation to the match 3 weeks ago which was: Sanchez, Lamptey, Veltman, Burn, Cucurella, Lallana, Bissouma, Moder, MacAllister, March, Maupay

I'm expecting:
Sanchez
Lamptey, Veltman, Webster, Cucurella
Lallana*, MacAllister
Moder, Gross,Trossard
Maupay

I'd be surprised if we went back 3.

----------------Sanchez
Veltman Webster Burn Cucurella
March MacAllister Alzate Moder
---------------Trossard
---------------Maupay

Likely see Lamptey and Welbeck from the bench again

I think Alzate will get the nod over Gross. Not because I think Gross is past it or useless, but that Alzate's ability to cover ground and play through tight spaces might tip the balance over Gross longer range ball playing
