Zakaria and Sterling start: Predicted Chelsea Xl to face Tottenham

Chelsea make the short trip to Tottenham on Sunday for the lunchtime kick off in the Premier League.

Graham Potter’s team badly need to start getting results now, and they badly need to begin at Spurs on Sunday.

Sources: The feel inside Cobham and whether Chelsea will sack Graham Potter!

A lot has been written and said about Potter and his Chelsea future this week, but common sense suggests that he needs to get results right now to cancel out that noise and pressure.

I believe he will stick to his usual setup that he has been going for win the 4-2-3-1, but I think he would have seen that Enzo Fernandez needs more defensive stability alongside him. That’s why I think Denis Zakaria might get the nod alongside him.

I also think he will give Raheem Sterling a start in attack, whilst bringing Thiago Silva, Reece James, and Benoit Badiashile back into the starting Xl.

I believe we might see something like this:

(4-2-3-1): Kepa; James, Silva, Badiashile, Chilwell; Zakaria, Enzo; Madueke, Felix, Sterling; Havertz.
