Chelsea
Enzo Maresca does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. Against Barrow AFC on Tuesday, the Chelsea manager will remain bereft of the services of two first-team players.
Reece James and Omari Kellyman continue to recover from their hamstring injuries and remain on the sidelines for the foreseeable future. Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia should have recovered from their thigh issues but will unlikely feature this midweek unless the situation becomes egregious.
Filip Jorgensen is the automatic pick between the sticks in cup competitions, with Chelsea lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him against Barrow AFC. The backline should feature Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Levi Colwill.
As for the midfield unit, the versatile Renato Vagia will line up in the middle of the park, taking his place alongside Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the double pivot. Finally, the attacking quartet will form a dynamic partnership, with Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Christopher Nkunku returning to the starting eleven.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo, Colwill; Renato Veiga, Dewsbury-Hall; Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Mudryk; Nkunku
Barrow
Unlike his counterpart in the Chelsea dugout, Stephen Clemence does not have any pressing issues to deal with ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge. The Barrow AFC manager should have a clean bill of health this midweek.
Wyll Stanway will likely take his spot between the sticks after Paul Farman replaced him in the goal at the weekend. Barrow AFC will line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Chelsea in front of him on Tuesday.
The backline should feature Rory Feely, Theo Vassell, Chris Stokes, and Ben Jackson. The full-backs will aim to remain compact to cut off the passing lanes for Chelsea, with the midfielder also shoring up the things in the middle of the park.
Captain Dean Campbell will sit at the base of the midfield unit, with Sam Foley and Kian Spence lining up alongside in the middle of the park. Gerard Garner should spearhead the Barrow attack against Chelsea this midweek, with Katia Kouyate and Elliot Newby completing the numbers in the final third.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Stanway; Feely, Vassell, Stokes, Jackson; Foley, Campbell, Spence; Kouyate, Garner, Newby
Prediction: Chelsea 4-0 Barrow AFC
