Chelsea have won three Premier League games in a row, including an away game for the first time in three months, and we’ve done so by using almost the exact same starting lineup each and every time.
In fact, across these three wins, Fulham away, 2-1, then back-to-back home wins over Merseyside in Everton (1-0) and Liverpool (3-1), we’ve made exactly one change to the starting lineup: Reece James started against Fulham; Roméo Lavia has started the other two since.
And it’s that version with Lavia that the WAGNH Community have voted in as our preferred lineup for today’s all-important visit to St James’ Park. This is the version that has Moisés Caicedo lining up as the nominal right back, inverting into midfield in possession.
With almost every starter over 90%, it’s safe to say that this is a unanimous decision. Reecey is the only other player in double digits, at 23%.
