Chelsea have officially announced their starting XI to face Ipswich, with a mix of first-team regulars and some exciting selections. Robert Sánchez starts in goal, protected by a backline of Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. In midfield, Moisés Caicedo partners Enzo Fernández to provide defensive cover and creative distribution.
Further up the pitch, Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer occupy the wings, looking to stretch the Ipswich defense and create chances. Neto is given a start, likely operating in an advanced role behind striker Nicolas Jackson, who leads the line.
Chelsea’s bench features a strong mix of youth and experience. Goalkeeper Jorgensen offers cover, while defenders Acheampong, Benoît Badiashile, Reece James, and Malo Gusto provide defensive depth. Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall brings energy and creativity, with George and high-profile attacking options Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku ready to make an impact if called upon.
This lineup suggests Chelsea are taking the match seriously, while also using the opportunity to rotate and give minutes to players returning from injury or looking to impress. Fans will be particularly eager to see how Neto performs and whether Sancho or Nkunku will make appearances later in the game.
