Xabi Alonso made just one change last weekend from the prior game, and that one change was enforced by injury. Pep Chavarría was not able to go, so Jorrel Hato had to step in.

That decision paid off, both in terms of Hato contributing with an assist and in terms of Chelsea winning back-to-back matches: 5-1 against AFC Bournemouth and then 2-0 against Everton.

Can that lineup make it three for three? The WAGNH Community certainly believe so, voting in the same starting lineup, with every starter reaching over three-quarters majority and most of them garnering over 90 per cent of the vote.

There is one change, obviously, at starting goalkeeper as Mike Penders is forced to step in for Emiliano Martínez, who’s recovering from surgery on is fractured jaw.

3-4-3 / 3-4-2-1 (68%)
Penders (98%) | Colwill (95%), Lacroix (98%), Acheampong (93%) | Hato (76%), Henderson (87%), Caicedo (99%), Neto (89%) | Rogers (98%), Palmer (99%) | João Pedro (98%)

Marco Palestra (27%), Roméo Lavia (12%), and Estêvão (11%) were the only other players to get into the double-digits.
