Chelsea vs. Brighton & Hove Albion: Premier League: Preferred lineup

Enzo Maresca has done an excellent job rotating the Chelsea squad, having already given out minutes to every single first-team player in just eight games bar the third-choice goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli, and the perennially injured Reece James. Maresca has essentially created an A-team and a B-team from the squad, giving starts to the latter group in UEFA Conference League and League Cup matches and giving starts to the former in the league.

So today should be a rotation back to the first-choice starters, and the WAGNH Community agree with little shadow of a doubt. Nine of the eleven starters garnered at least 80 per cent of the vote, with the tenth still earning a two-thirds majority. Noni Madueke is the only one with some apparent doubt at 57%.

Of those not chosen, Christopher Nkunku (38%) and Tosin Adarabioyo (45%) earned noteworthy vote-totals. Pedro Neto (19%) and João Félix (10%) were the only other players in double-digits.
