Chelsea aim to return to winning ways as they host Bournemouth in the Premier League this afternoon.
After winning their opening two league fixtures, the Blues have managed just one point from their subsequent three matches.
A strong response is required, and manager Xabi Alonso is expected to make several changes following the 3-0 defeat at Brentford.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Predicted Line-up:
Emiliano Martinez is poised to start in goal.
In defence, Alonso could deploy Wesley Fofana, Maxence Lacroix and Levi Colwill as a back three against the Cherries.
Marco Palestra has fully recovered from a pre-season injury and is set to make his Chelsea debut at right wing-back.
Jorrel Hato is likely to start on the left flank ahead of Pep Chavarria.
With Reece James and Moises Caicedo both fully fit after their respective injury layoffs, the duo are expected to partner in central midfield.
Alonso is expected to field his strongest attack now that Joao Pedro is fit. Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers should operate as the two number 10s, with Pedro leading the line following a brief knee injury absence.
Predicted Chelsea line-up vs Bournemouth: Martinez; Fofana, Lacroix, Colwill; Palestra, James, Caicedo, Hato; Rogers, Palmer; Joao Pedro.
