Key player rested and two teenagers start: Possible Chelsea Xl vs Djurgarden predicted | OneFootball

One key player could be rested for Chelsea tomorrow night and two teenagers could start in possible lineup prediction this week.

The news comes off the back of Chelsea getting an essential three points on Saturday afternoon by beating Everton 1-0 at home after a fantastic first half goal from striker Nicolas Jackson ending his 2025 goal draught.

EXCLUSIVE! Three Chelsea players who are not enjoying the football under Enzo Maresca!

It was far from an easy game for Chelsea though, and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez became the unlikely hero and was actually the reason that they could see the win out and collect all three points, making some big second half saves to deny certain goals.

Another one of Chelsea’s best players on the pitch was defender Trevoh Chalobah and really, he was a strong candidate for man of the match too. Enzo Maresca defended Chelsea’s decision to let him go on loan in the summer after then recalling him in the winter.

Focus now turns to the Conference League for Chelsea as they face Swedish side Djurgarden on Thursday night in the first leg of their semi-final match. Enzo Maresca will have some selection decisions to make, and there is some belief that he could rest striker Nicolas Jackson.

Football London have put out an opinion article predicting a possible starting lineup for Chelsea for Thursday night, and this is what they believe we could see:

Possible Chelsea line-up: Jorgensen; Acheampong, Tosin, Badiashile, Cucurella; James, Dewsbury-Hall; Palmer, Nkunku, Sancho; George.

I personally have a feeling we are going to see a much stronger starting Xl than this one because I think Maresca really wants to win this trophy. Of course, he will also have his mind on Champions League qualification in the remaining Premier League games.
