Jackson problem, James decision - Chelsea predicted team for Conference League final vs Real Betis
The predicted Chelsea line-up for the Blues' Conference League final this evening against Spanish side Real Betis in Wroclaw with Enzo Maresca facing some tough decisions
Tonight is the night. Chelsea take on Real Betis in the Conference League final in Wroclaw as head coach Enzo Maresca aims to win his first piece of silverware in his debut season at the club.
Maresca takes on his old master Manuel Pellegrini, the man who he worked under during their days at West Ham United. While they are close friends and keep consistent contact, that will go out of the window for at least 90 minutes this evening in Poland.
Chelsea go into the match as favourites - as they have throughout their Conference League campaign - but in Betis comes the Blues' toughest challenge yet. So far in the competition, Maresca has been able to rotate heavily and give the fringe players and academy stars minutes on the pitch.
However, the Italian may revert back to his strongest team tonight as Chelsea bid to become the first club ever to win the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. With all of this being said, Bobby Vincent does his best at reading Maresca's mind in regards to the XI he will field in Wroclaw later on.
Filip Jorgensen
Maresca confirmed last week that Jorgensen will keep his place in the Conference League side. The Dane has played all but one game in the competition this season and will remain in goal ahead of Robert Sanchez, who has been the No.1 in the Premier League.

Excellent on Sunday in the win against Nottingham Forest, nine days after a match-winning display at home to Manchester United. James is finding his form at the right time for the Blues and could be influential in a memorable win this evening.

Difficult to choose between Tosin and Trevoh Chalobah but I've gone with the former simply because of his performance at the City Ground. Tosin was imperious for the Blues as they battled their way to a crucial clean sheet against Forest.

Another man influential in said clean sheet was Colwill, who of course scored Chelsea's only goal of the game in Nottingham. Like James, Colwill is finding form at the right time for the Blues. Benoit Badiashile has been used plenty in the Conference League this season but the Frenchman may have to settle for a place on the bench.

One of Chelsea's standout performers this season. Cucurella seems to thrive on the biggest stage as well and will be looking to make a positive impact in Wroclaw.
