"Jose Mourinho won three Premier League titles with Chelsea in two spells and is back in his latest incarnation as manager of Benfica. The Blues won the Club World Cup just a few short months ago but have not started the season well and were soundly beaten by Brighton at the weekend. A few more defeats and the pressure will really ramp up on Enzo Maresca."
"Here's how the sides line up. Chelsea team news Alejandro Garnacho starts for the Blues in a fluid-looking attack as Joao Pedro drops to the bench. Captain Reece James also drops out as Enzo Fernandez is handed the armband. Chelsea XI: Robert Sánchez, Marc Cucurella, Benoît Badiashile, Trevoh Chalobah, Malo Gusto, Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo, Alejandro Garnacho, Facundo Buonanotte, Pedro Neto, Tyrique George"
Chelsea will go without a central striker as they prepare to host Benfica at Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho is now Benfica manager and previously won three Premier League titles with Chelsea and Champions League trophies with Porto and Inter. Chelsea claimed the Club World Cup months ago but have started the domestic season poorly, suffering a heavy defeat to Brighton, increasing pressure on Enzo Maresca. Alejandro Garnacho starts in a fluid attack while Joao Pedro and captain Reece James drop out and Enzo Fernández becomes captain. Benfica make one change, bringing Dodi Lukébakio into the starting XI, with full lineups confirmed.
