At the American Express Stadium, Chelsea would meet Brighton for a back-to-back matchup in less than seven days. Now it's the Premier League, though, and the Blues will be looking for retribution following Saturday's FA Cup elimination.
I have no doubt that Enzo Maresca will make a bevy of substitutions in an effort to salvage a victory for the Blues on Friday and keep them in the playoff hunt against teams like Newcastle and Manchester City, after their utterly terrible performance against Brighton.
Before the game, Enzo Maresca provided some team updates. He singled out three Chelsea stars who will be playing in this match after they returned from Saturday's game.
Here are the three Chelsea players that will be returning for this important match:
Nicholas Jacquet Enzo Maresca is optimistic that Nicolas Jackson will be able to play in Friday's game after resting him on Saturday because to a hamstring complaint. After seeing how Nkunku played on Saturday, Chelsea's coach will have no qualms about playing him again.
James Reece:
Fans were worried that Chelsea would lose because their captain wasn't named to the squad that played Brighton. On the other hand, Enzo Maresca claimed that the defender's injury history from the past two seasons was the reason he rested him.
He is healthy and in terrific shape, according to Chelsea's coach, therefore he should be able to play in this crucial match. Felipe Jorgensen: Jorgensen is expected to start for this pivotal match after Sanchez had a terrible outing on Saturday.
Many Chelsea fans now favor the club's backup goalkeeper above Sanchez, the starter, due to his outstanding play. It has been reported that Enzo Maresca is in good health. It is thought that he will be starting this match after an absence.
