Chelsea has predominantly employed a back-three setup this season, often requiring players like Pedro Neto to adapt to new roles. However, following a significant defeat against Tottenham Hotspur and due to injuries, the team shifted to a back-four and a three-man midfield against Liverpool in the League Cup. This tactical adjustment came after Moisés Caicedo and Jordan Henderson were overwhelmed by Tottenham Hotspur's midfield. A community poll strongly indicates a preference for a back-four, with 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 formations garnering 66% of votes, compared to 30% for the 3-4-3/3-4-2-1. Key personnel changes include Marco Palestra starting, while Wesley Fofana is absent. Jordan Henderson is favored over Roméo Lavia to partner Caicedo in midfield. In attack, with no recognized striker, Pedro Neto and Morgan Rogers have filled the role. Cole Palmer and Estêvão are set to start, with Danny Welbeck and Emmanuel Emegha missing out.
