Two debuts, new Cole Palmer role, Pedro Neto starts - Predicted Chelsea line-up vs Servette
Bobby Vincent predicts the Chelsea line-up for their European clash with Servette FC this evening at Stamford Bridge with the Blues expected to rotate their side
Chelsea return to European action as they look to qualify for the UEFA Conference League proper with a win against Servette.
The Blues take on the Swiss outfit tonight in the first-leg of their Conference League play-off round. After getting their season underway at the weekend with a 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City, it is another opportunity to show his ideology to the Stamford Bridge faithful for Enzo Maresca.
Maresca has taken some positives from Sunday despite the defeat to the champions. Now, though, is a great opportunity for the Italian to show what his style of football is really about in a game Chelsea come into as massive favourites.
There is expected to be some rotation for the visit of Servette. Although, new signing Joao Felix is not eligible for this particular game. Either way, Bobby Vincent has given it his best shot at predicting the XI Maresca will opt with tonight.
GK: Filip Jorgensen
Filip Jorgensen could be handed his Chelsea debut this evening. There may well be a case where the Danish goalkeeper starts the European matches and Robert Sanchez does the same in the Premier League.

Reece James is still missing through injury, as Maresca confirmed on Wednesday. Gusto is likely to keep his place at right-back at Stamford Bridge.

New signing Tosin could make his competitive Chelsea debut against Servette. The 26-year-old was used heavily in pre-season but did not come off the bench at the weekend against Manchester City.

Badiashile could come in for Levi Colwill. The Frenchman will be eager to impress if that is indeed the case as he looks to lay down some foundations for his new head coach.

Ben Chilwell is nowhere to be seen and training away from the Chelsea first-team as it stands. Cucurella is likely to keep his place on the left-hand side of defence but there is a chance we see Renato Veiga at some point.
