Chelsea will travel to Wales to face Cardiff City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, hoping to regain victory after the international break.
A disappointing loss to Everton (2-0) has given Maurizio Sarri plenty of substance over the past two weeks, as the top four race starts the final stretch with Chelsea in sixth place.
Strong individual performances of Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud for their respective countries could force the Blues boss to modify his selection of teams and give starting places to those who deserve it.
However, Sarri is not one to choose players according to their form and continues to opt for players he trusts, regardless of their performance. Chelsea fans should not expect anything else this weekend.
Here's how the Blues could align against Cardiff.
Goalkeeper and defenders
Kepa Arrizabalaga (GK) – Got a start for Spain against Malta on Tuesday night, keeping a blank score in a 2-0 win.
Cesar Azpilicueta (RB) – Missed on a Spanish call, Azpilicueta spent the last two weeks in Cobham for a well-deserved recovery period.
Antonio Rudiger (BC) – Won a decisive pbad for Germany in his spectacular victory over the Netherlands last weekend.
David Luiz (BC) – Luiz should be in top form to play his 29th league game of the season.
Emerson Palmieri (LB) – After Alonso's dismal show against Everton, Emerson should have his back turned to the left back after a fortnight on the training ground.
Midfielders
Jorginho (DM) – Started both matches for Italy while they were comfortably battling Liechtenstein and Finland in their first qualifying matches for the Euro 2020.
N & # 39; Golo Kante (CM) – The favorite midfielder of all, Kante has not missed a Premier League game this season.
Ross Barkley (CM) – A brace and a decisive pbad for England against Montenegro should allow Barkley to overtake Mateo Kovacic in the starting lineup of Sarri.
Before
Pedro (RW) – We can forgive Callum Hudson-Odoi for thinking that his performance in England will have earned him his first start in the Premier League, but Sarri has noticeably looked only 20 minutes, so Pedro.
Gonzalo Higuain (ST) – Another who is likely to start based on favoritism more than merit, considering Giroud's goal of four goals in his last four games.
Eden Hazard (LW) – Chelsea's main man earned his hundredth cap for Belgium last week, scoring three goals in two games.
