James, Niguez And Pulisic To Start, Alonso And Kante Out: Chelsea’s Predicted XI To Face Real Madrid

Chelsea were all over the place against Brentford and manager Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that the shock defeat is merely a blip ahead of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid.

You can bet that the German will be switching to a 3-4-3 for this game, with Brentford having exposed the back four on a number of occasions at the weekend.

Marcos Alonso was awful playing as a left-back, while they didn’t get much protection from midfield with N’Golo Kante off his game. With that in mind, there will be a fair few changes tomorrow.
