As Chelsea gears up for their Premier League Week 3 clash against Bournemouth, manager Enzo Maresca is set to unveil a dynamic lineup, blending youthful energy with experienced heads. Following Kepa Arrizabalaga's departure, Robert Sánchez has claimed the role of Chelsea's first-choice goalkeeper, with his focus firmly on securing his position with another solid performance.
In defense, the young pairing of Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill will anchor the center-back positions. Fofana’s pace and aggression complement Colwill’s composed style, as both continue to build a formidable partnership. On the flanks, Marc Cucurella takes his place at left-back, while Malo Gusto fills in at right-back, continuing to deputize for the sidelined Reece James.
Chelsea’s midfield sees Enzo Fernández orchestrating the play from a deep position, using his passing range and creativity to control the tempo. He is supported by Moises Caicedo, whose box-to-box energy and defensive prowess will be key, while Cole Palmer adds attacking flair and vision to the setup.
The biggest news of the day is Jadon Sancho’s debut in the starting lineup. After much anticipation, the English winger will have his first opportunity to make an impact for Chelsea. On the right, Pedro Neto’s blistering pace and dribbling skills will pose a constant threat to Bournemouth’s defense.
Leading the line is Nicolas Jackson, whose excellent form has made him one of Chelsea’s most reliable attacking outlets. His strength, movement, and finishing ability will be crucial as the Blues aim to secure a vital win against Bournemouth.
