Chelsea are looking to bounce back against Ipswich Town on Monday evening following their Boxing Day defeat to Fulham at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues took a one-goal lead early on against their west London neighbours but were pegged back with two late goals from the Cottagers. It allowed Liverpool to pull seven points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table and by the time a ball is even kicked, the Reds could be 10 clear of the Blues.

Bobby Vincent

We are going to start out with a big decision. Filip Jorgensen in for Robert Sanchez. There, I said it. It is hardly the most controversial thing to say but after another disappointing performance from Sanchez, I think it should be time for Jorgensen to be given a run-out.

Josh Acheampong at right-back, anyone? I think so, personally, given the disappointing form of Malo Gusto. There aren't too many options on the right-hand side of defence but Acheampong has proven this season that he is ready for the step up to senior football.

Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella to complete the back-four, as you would expect. I very much doubt Romeo Lavia will be fit enough to start given his time out on the sidelines, so Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo should continue in the middle of the field.

Then I would bring Noni Madueke in for Pedro Neto. Joao Felix to replace Jadon Sancho, who looks as if he needs a rest. Cole Palmer in the middle, of course, playing just off Nicolas Jackson as the sole No.9.

Bobby's line-up: Jorgensen; Acheampong, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Felix; Jackson.

Joe Doyle

For me, it's fairly obvious that Robert Sanchez has had enough chances in goal. He disappoints too often to be a No.1 keeper for a team considering a Premier League title challenge - even if Enzo Maresca says the Blues aren't in the race.

Filip Jorgensen starts in goal, with Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill in front of him and Marc Cucurella at left-back. At right-back, Malo Gusto had a poor game against Fulham, but I don't think the alternatives of Axel Disasi or Moises Caicedo being moved out of position are ideal, so the French defender continues.

In midfield, it's a duo of Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez with Cole Palmer in the No.10 role. And after the game against Fulham, I'd be tempted to drop both of Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto.

I think Noni Madueke gets a start on the right side, and Joao Felix comes in on the left with Nicolas Jackson up front.

Joe's XI: Jorgensen; Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Felix; Jackson.
