UCL: Chelsea Dangerous Lineup That Will Humiliate Zenit In Stamford Bridge On Tuesday

Match Preview and Live

Stream: Chelsea vs. Zenit

Chelsea won the UCL last season after a thrilling 1-0 victory over Manchester City thanks to a Kai Havertz goal. They would fancy their chances again, given they have kept the nucleus of their UCL-winning side and added Romelu Lukaku and Saul Niguez to their starting XI and bench, respectively.

Zenit is a team that Chelsea’s Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, is familiar with, as he is a native of Russia. On Wednesday, Zenit would like their chances at a giant-killing. For years, the Russian team has failed to create a mark in the competition, and they will be hoping to change that in a group that also includes Juventus and Malmo.

Chelsea against Zenit Predicted Lineup and Team News

Chelsea is a highly powerful team, and even if they had injury problems, their squad depth would be enough to get them through. Regardless, they just have Reece James out with an injury. Despite being theoretically fit, Romelu Lukaku and N’Golo Kante were doubts for the encounter, and the duo should be rested given the Blues’ softer opponent.

Chelsea’s anticipated lineup against Zenit is 3-4-2-1.

Match Prediction: Chelsea vs. Zenit

Chelsea is the current champions of this league, and they will be looking to repeat their success this season.

Zenit at home would be a must-win game for them, and we expect a cakewalk. Chelsea’s second-string lineup is capable of winning, but Thomas Tuchel is likely to bring in some big guns. In our judgment, the Blues should win 2-0.
