Chelsea vs. Nottingham Forest, Premier League: Preferred lineup

Head coach Enzo Maresca has repeatedly rotated his entire squad when going from midweek games to the weekend, and vice-versa, and that pattern is expected hold true this weekend =.

The WAGNH Community seem to be in overwhelming agreement with this policy as well, voting in all the usual "A Squad" starters, which means that the "B Squad" take a seat on the bench instead. (Of course, Maresca doesn't call them A and B squads, but we might as well say the quiet part out loud.)

That said, some questions have started to be raised about the performances of Noni Madueke and Robert Sánchez, and while those questions weren't enough to drop them just yet, they do lag the rest of the starters in terms of percentages. Madueke hasn't really done much since his hat-trick against Wolves six starts ago, while Sánchez had a bit of a 'mare last weekend. It didn't cost us then, but sooner or later, those kinds of mistakes will be reflected on the scoresheet as well.

Until then...

THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE

4-2-3-1 (85%)

Of the rest, only Pedro Neto (27%), Christopher Nkunku (20%), Roméo Lavia (18%), and Tosin Adarabioyo (16%) score in double digits, the rest are down in the singles, including João Félix at just 5%.
