After a spectacular pass that gave Nicolas Jackson the game’s first goal and then the game-winning goal early in the second half, Cole Palmer once again made the most of headlines.
Most of the players who played at Stamford Bridge on Sunday were training at Cobham this afternoon, though, and it was a true team effort.In keeping with our cup play this season, where Robert Sanchez has played in every Premier League game, Maresca said Filip Jorgensen would start in goal at St. James’ Park.
However, as the Italian frequently makes drastic changes to his lineup in the Carabao Cup and Conference League, supporters will have to wait to see how many other changes will be made to the starting lineup.Jadon Sancho is one of the players anticipated to be included in the matchday squad.
After starting the previous four Premier League games after making a game-changing debut from the bench at Bournemouth, the 24-year-old has been an unused replacement for our last two games.
During his pre-Newcastle United press conference here, Maresca was questioned about Sancho.Chelsea can choose from a wide variety of attacking alternatives. Christopher Nkunku, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have all scored goals in cup competitions this season, despite Palmer, Jackson, and Noni Madueke already having seven, six, and four Premier League goals, respectively.
According to Maresca, he won’t choose his starting lineup until after today’s practice. Whatever the XI is called, it will undoubtedly be full with talented players.
