Servette vs Chelsea: Confirmed Lineups, Predicted Starting 11, and Team News as Maresca Looks to Secure Third Straight Win

Chelsea have the opportunity to secure their third consecutive victory across all competitions and secure a spot in the UEFA Conference League proper as they go up against Servette on Thursday.

Enzo Marseca's men performed fitfully en route to a 2-0 win in last week's home leg before producing a statement victory in the Premier League, thrashing Wolves 6-2 at Molineux at the weekend.

That scoreline, inspired by Noni Madueke's quickfire hat-trick, came as a welcome diversion to Chelsea's still-turbulent off-field situation as the end of the transfer window approaches 

Here is the latest team news and predicted lineups for this fixture, with Maresca expected to shuffle his well-stocked squad once again.

Joao Felix marked his second Chelsea debut with a goal against Wolves and will be hoping for more game time in Switzerland alongside fellow forward Christopher Nkunku.

Enzo Fernandez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are likely to partner one another in midfield with Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo both doubts.

Filip Jorgensen stated the first leg and is set to come back in for first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Chelsea predicted 11 (4-2-3-1, right to left): Jorgensen (GK) — Disasi, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Cucurella — Fernandez, Dewsbury-Hall — Madueke, Joao Felix, Neto — Nkunku.

Injuries: Reece James (hamstring), Marc Cucurella (hamstring), Romeo Lavia (hamstring), Moses Caicedo (knock)

Suspensions: 

Servette are set to be without Victory Beniangba with Enzo Crivelli favourite to lead the attack, as Thomas Haberli's men seek an improbable comeback.

In-form winger Dereck Kutesa will get another chance to shine. The 26-year-old has five goals in nine appearances this term and has attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Servette predicted 11 (4-2-3-1, right to left): Frick — Tsunemoto, Rouiller, Severin, Mazikou — Douline, Ondoua — Stevanovic, Antunes, Kutesa — Crivelli.

Injuries: Victory Beniangba (muscular)
