Chelsea is in action tonight when he hosts Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in what is a huge tie in the fifth round of the FA Cup for both managers.
After the defeat at the hands of Manchester City, the pressure is now exerted on Maurizio Sarri, in West London. United and Arsenal are ahead of the Blues over them. Tonight's visitors are now in last place in the Champions League.
This makes the evening even more important, with good performance and progress in the quarterfinals against a rival of the top four who will somehow ease the pressure that Sarri has begun to face in recent weeks.
In Malmo, Thursday, in the 32-match draw in the Europa League, the Chelsea team has changed a lot and we expect his boss to return to his regular beginners, as he would for a Premier League match.
Sarri is stubborn with his team selections this season and, as this week is crucial in his short career at Chelsea, we expect him to follow what he knows in eliminating Manchester United.
This means that Kepa Arrizabalaga will start in the FA Cup with Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz in the center, while Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are likely to act as central defenders, despite the recent formation of Alonso.
In the midfield, Ross Barkley enters tonight's game after scoring against Malmo on Thursday, but with the rematch of that match also this week and the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City on Sunday, I think it's is more likely we will see Mateo Kovacic in this medium with Jorginho and N & # 39; Golo Kante.
At the top, Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain will start at Stamford Bridge, but the good side is still up for grabs.
I think Sarri will look for Pedro's abilities on the pitch opposite Willian tonight, using the Brazilian on the bench if he needed anything more from his side.
Chelsea XI planned: Arrizabalaga; Alonso, Rudiger, David Luiz, Azpilicueta; Kovacic, Jorginho, Kante; Hazard, Pedro, Higuain
