I was expecting changes for our last outing in the Europa League and we didn't really get them so hopefully the way Sarri has been talking we could see a couple. At the very least we should be seeing one of RLC or CHO from what he's been saying. Fingers crossed they play and can shine. I think RLC needs to make an impression when he gets chance because as things stand, I don't think he really suits the system, and is probably only in front of Drinkwater who we seem to have completely given up hope on. CHO has time on his side but I feel he could really make a place in the Europa league side his own if he plays like he did in pre season

I just didn't see anyone mention him - figured he might be injured? But wasn't sure.
If he's not I'd like to see him start as well, or feature as least.

I think it is different this time round. We are on the back of two really tough and intense games agst Liverpool. I think we will have mostly fringe players starting tonight, but with some key players on the bench :

I think RLC will start or at least feature prominently based on Sarri's presser. Agree though, would like CHO to get playing time. Impressed early, albeit in preseason, and has since been shuttered away.
soccer?lol.

Listening to Sarri's presser, doesn't look like CHO will start or even in the squad.
He mentioned RLC will get a chance.
Team I'm expecting:
Caballero
Zappacosta Cahill Christensen Emerson
Barkley Fabregas RLC
Moses Morata Willian

TJ Sarri should have started CHO or at least give him a 30-35 minute cameo today otherwise his comments to the press about CHO in the pre-season and Community Shield were false and a smokescreen.

He's not in the squad as predicted.
It's similar to the team I've mentioned above.
Chelsea XI v Vidi:
Kepa, Zappacosta, Cahill, Christensen, Emerson, Fabregas, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Willian, Morata

Good to see Pedro back, going to need his goals this season

No - his brother Callum couldn't even get on the bench either!
