Mourinho To Make 6 Changes: Predicted Chelsea Starting XI To Face Stoke

Chelsea will look get their season back on track when they take on Stoke in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night. Here is the side I think Jose Mourinho will pick:

Goalkeeper: With Thibaut Courtois still out with a knee injury, Mourinho may look to protect Asmri Begovic by handing Marco Amelia a debut between the sticks.

Defence: However, the Portuguese coach could stick with an experienced back four as he looks to secure a much-needed victory following their loss at West Ham on Saturday.

Baba Rahman is likely to come in at left-back with Cesar Azpilicueta rested but John Terry, Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma could all retain their places. Branislav Ivanovic is set to miss out again with a hamstring injury.

Midfield: Nemanja Matic will be suspended following his controversial dismissal at Upton Park at the weekend so John Obi Mikel could come in to the starting eleven with youngster Ruben Loftus-Cheek also given another run-out in the middle of the park.

Attack: The likes of Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Willian and Diego Costa could all be given a rest with Oscar and Radamel Falcao coming back in to the starting eleven. Young Brazilian forward Kenedy could also be given another chance to impress in attack.

Here is how I think we’ll see Chelsea line-up:

Back Chelsea to win at odds of 5/1 + money back if you lose
