Early, but this could be "interesting" with the number of players out!
Assuming against Palace we get something like this:
Lloris
Emerson-Tanganga-Dier-Reguillon
Hojberg-Dele-Winks
Lucas-Kane-Gill
We then still have Gollini, Doherty, Davies, Ndombele, Clarke and if fit Rodon to come in for Rennais. The question is whether we a) play the "squad" players who started against Palace and will have to play against Chelsea anyway, b) rest most of them but play those who could come out for Romero and Lo Celso at the Bridge, or c) make 11 changes.
So the lineup could at its strongest be something like:
Gollini
Doherty-Tanganga-Rodon-Davies
Ndombele-Winks-Dele
Clarke-Lucas-Gill
Or, at its weakest could be really asking for trouble:
Gollini
Doherty-Omole-Rodon-Davies
Ndombele-John-White
Clarke-Scarlett-Markanday
Normally keen to play the youngsters, but I think the latter team could take a battering from Rennais which wouldn't be ideal for confidence etc. Real shame we don't have home to Mura or whatever for this one.
