In tonight’s UEFA Conference League match against Noah, Enzo Maresca once again shuffles his starting XI for Chelsea, providing a full debut for Tyrique George.
The coach has chosen to make full use of his squad in cup competitions this season, and that policy continues at Stamford Bridge for the visit of the Armenian side.
Maresca made two changes to the team that started against Newcastle last Wednesday. In addition to the selection of 18-year-old George at centre-forward, Marc Guyot returns to the team. It is his first start since the two qualifying matches in this competition against Servette.
Mark Cucurella and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are the two players who walked away from that League Cup defeat on Tyneside.
This means that Filip Jorgensen is in goal. The defense line consists of Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, and Renato Vega.
Captain Enzo Fernandez continues in midfield with Joao Felix, Mykhailo Modric and Christopher Nkunku providing attacking options alongside George and Goyo.
Chelsea: Jorgensen; Disasi, Tosin, Badiashile, Vega; Fernandez (c); George, Joao Felix, Nkunku, Modric; Goyo
Subs: Sanchez, Merrick, Cucurella, Giusto, Dewsbury-Hall, Rak Saki, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Madueke.
Noah: Chancarevic, Mouradian, Hambartsumyan (c), Miljkovic, Manvelyan, Eteki, Sancar, Ferreira, Gregorio, Sinari, Goncalo Silva.
Subs: Plushchadny, Thorarinson, Ayas, Dashyan, Mendoza, Avanesyan, Santos, Petrosyan, Oulad Omar, Benson.
