Tomorrow

I don't think Solanke will start - hopefully it'll be that team - more likely Fabregas ahead of him.

I suspect it will be

Begovic
Zouma Luiz Terry
Ivanovic Fabregas Chalobah Ake
Loftus-Cheek Willian
Bats

If Brana is off then I can't see him being involved. Probably the same for Begovic really. Has there been a firm offer for Asmir?

Conte said Begovic will start

I'm hoping that it's something like this:
Begovic
Zouma JT Ivanovic
Aina Fabregas Chalobah Ake
RLC Batshuayi Kenedy
Subs: Eduardo Azpilicueta Alonso Kate Hazard Willian and Costa.

If Kenedy plays, he won't be able to go out on loan. So Conte needs to make that decision - as to whether he wants Kenedy to be part of the squad for the rest of this season, or to get gametime elsewhere. I imagine it will be:

---------------------Begovic----------------
-------Zouma-----Terry-----Ake-----------
Ivanovic-----Chalobah---Fabregas----?
------------Willian---------RLC----------------
-------------------Batshuayi---------------------

Only real question is who will play left wing back. At the moment we don't have proper cover for Alonso, which is a reasonable argument for keeping Kenedy. Last cup game, Pedro played there!

OP - you're so confident that you'd only field 10 players??? 😂

Brana won't start....he may well get 15 mins as a farewell gesture...which'll be nice I think

Expect:

Begovic
Zouma Terry Ake
Ivanovic/Azpi Fabregas Chalobah Pedro
Willian Batshuayi Loftus-Cheek

Bench: Eduardo, Azpi/Ivanovic, Kante, Moses, Musonda, Costa, Hazard.

Preferred lineup:

Begovic
Zouma Terry Ake
Aina Fabregas Chalobah Kenedy
Willian Batshuayi Musonda

Solanke has been demoted to u23's (due to not signing new deal), leaves on free transfer at end of the season.
Glowing reference of Musonda (couple of weeks ago) from Conte leads me to believe he'll stay, but Kenedy wont. Hope both stay.

Ivanovic can have his sentimental farewell coming off the bench, no point starting someone that's not going to be here beyond January for me.
