The Blues are gearing up for a demanding series of Premier League matches, commencing with their visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night.
Mauricio Pochettino is confronted with the challenging responsibility of overseeing his team, given the absence of several key first-team players, as they get ready to face their fellow London rivals.
The West London team is heading into this stretch following a well-earned 2-0 victory over lower-league side Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup.
The Argentine manager is anticipated to employ a 4-3-3 formation with a number of adjustments likely to be made.
In the goalkeeper position, Robert Sanchez will remain in place after an impressive clean sheet in the previous match.
Thiago Silva will partner with the promising Levi Colwill in the central defense, while Marc Cucurella will handle left-back duties and Reece James will take the right-back role.
In midfield, the trio of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Conor Gallagher will act as holding midfielders, controlling the tempo from the center of the field.
Looking ahead to the attacking positions, the front three will consist of Cole Palmer on the right wing, Raheem Sterling on the opposite side, and Nicolas Jackson as the striker.
On the substitutes' bench, Armando Broja is ready and could potentially make a late-game appearance if Chelsea needs an additional goal-scoring threat.
