Chelsea are back in action looking to bounce back from its defeat at Anfield against Liverpool when it travels to Athens to face Panathinaikos in matchweek 2 of the Conference league.
Enzo Maresca has heavily rotated his squad in Cup and Conference League games so far, resting his top players for Premier League games. This game is no different, as Maresca has opted to leave Levi Colwill, Reece James, Moises Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson back in London so they can be ready for Saturday's game against Newcastle.
Those players join other regulars who won't feature in the game like Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia who weren't even registered in Chelsea's squad for the league phase of the Conference League.
Even considering the absences, the Blues still have more than enough talent to defeat a team that currently sits sixth in the Greek Super League. Chelsea's squad depth is a strength of the team and Maresca has done his best to take advantage of it.
Here's how Chelsea could lineup against Panathinaikos in the Conference League.
