22-year-old finally starts for Pochettino: Early Chelsea predicted XI vs Bournemouth

Mauricio Pochettino will be spending this international break mulling over the recent shocking defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.

The Blues were beaten 1-0 by their opposition, with some fingers being pointed late on at Nicolas Jackson for a terrible miss in front of goal.

It may be that the manager feels that a new system could be what sees the Blues freed from the shackles that have been this season so far.

Here’s our early predicted XI for the next Premier League game against Bournemouth.

GK and Defence

Despite him now coming under pressure from the new arrival at the club, Robert Sanchez will continue his form of starting every game this season.

While reports claim Reece James is targeting this game for a return, Malo Gusto will continue on the right of a solid back four.

Next to him, Axel Disasi will start in favour of Thiago Silva in the right centre-back role.

He will be alongside Levi Colwill, who will be looking over his shoulder at the returning Benoit Badiashile in his position.

At left-back, Ben Chilwell will move slightly deeper than where he has been playing so far this season to free up a winger position.

Moises Caicedo has endured a mixed start to life at Chelsea, however he will of course be starting in a midfield trio for this game.

He will be alongside Enzo Fernandez, with the hope being that these two can form a partnership that will last a long time at Stamford Bridge.

Ahead of those two, Conor Gallagher will continue after his impressive start, with the club waiting for Romeo Lavia to reach full fitness.

Raheem Sterling has been the most impressive Blue this season, and he will continue on the right of a front three.

On the left, Mykhailo Mudryk will make his first start since the manager took over, after being handed sporadic minutes so far.

Up front, it will be Nicolas Jackson looking to return to form after his tough outing in last weekend’s defeat.
