Chelsea face Gent at Stamford Bridge in the Conference League in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
It’s the B team in all its glory.
Filip Jorgensen in goal, with the chance to impress after Robert Sanchez’s double blunder at the weekend.
Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga at full back, now that Malo Gusto is back to full health. As we suspected from his media appearance yesterday, Cesare Casadei keeps his place from last week’s win over Barrow. He plays with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who is desperate for a start at the moment.
Joao Felix plays as the more attacking midfielder ahead of them, with Pedro Neto and Mykhailo Mudryk out wide. Christopher Nkunku leads the line.
These B teams are always super attacking because there are more offensive than defensive focused midfielders in the squad. Casadei, KDH, Felix is nobodies’ idea of a balanced midfield. It worked against Barrow a week ago because they’re a League 2 team, we’ll have to see if we can pull the same trick off tonight.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Gent (kick off at 20:00 GMT)
