Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is gearing up for significant changes to his lineup as the Blues prepare to host Newcastle United in the Premier League this Sunday. After a tough 2-1 loss to Liverpool last weekend, Chelsea rebounded midweek with a strong 4-1 win over Panathinaikos in the Conference League, offering a morale boost heading into their league clash.
With Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella both available after serving suspensions, Chelsea’s defense gains added depth and flexibility. Cucurella’s return could potentially see Reece James moved to the bench, while Enzo Fernandez might take the starting spot over Romeo Lavia in midfield.
As Chelsea aims to climb the Premier League standings, Maresca is likely to field his strongest lineup, knowing the importance of securing points against a formidable Newcastle side.
