Chelsea lineup vs. Man City: Predicted XI for pre-season friendly

Full debut incoming? Predicted Chelsea lineup vs. Man City

Filip Jorgensen is in line to make his full debut for Chelsea in Saturday's glamour friendly with English champions Manchester City.

The 22-year-old made his debut for the Blues as a second-half substitute against Club America on Wednesday, with Enzo Maresca's side winning that friendly 3-0.

Robert Sanchez was given the nod between the sticks for the first whistle, but he is now expected to be replaced by Jorgensen for this game.

Enzo Fernandez is back with the squad, featuring as a second-half substitute against Club America, and he is expected to receive more action from the bench.

Maresca is set to make changes to his starting side, with Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell both likely to be introduced into the back four.

However, Christopher Nkunku is again set to operate as the number 10 behind Marc Guiu, who has made a positive impression during pre-season.

Noni Madueke and Raheem Sterling could also keep hold of their starting roles on Saturday, but Cole Palmer is a notable absentee due to his involvement for England at Euro 2024, while Conor Gallagher is closing in on a switch to Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Jorgensen; James, Adarabioyo, Fofana, Chilwell; Lavia, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Nkunku, Sterling; Guiu
