On Thursday, Chelsea will travel more than 6,000 kilometers round-trip to Kazakhstan to play Astana in the Conference League in subfreezing temperatures.

Given the length and difficulties of such a mission, Chelsea’s players and staff are unlikely to be very enthusiastic about the journey, but the Blues will be determined to make it worthwhile on the field. Enzo Maresca’s team would maintain their pristine league phase record with a victory Wednesday, marking their sixth consecutive victory across all competitions.

The side that defeated Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling 4-3 match on Sunday afternoon is probably going to be very different for the Italian. Some of the club’s supporting players should be given starting roles, while several youth players are anticipated to travel to Kazakhstan.

This is the possible lineup for Chelsea on Thursday.

The starting lineup for Chelsea versus Astana (4-2-3-1)

GK: Filip Jorgensen: This season, Jorgensen has been Maresca’s number two goalie and has excelled whenever he has entered the game. The Conference League has had tremendous success from the summer recruit.

RB: Josh Acheampong: As Chelsea’s attempt to extend the young player’s contract continues to make headway, Maresca has announced that Acheampong is likely to be selected here.

CB: Axel Disasi Disasi has significantly improved in recent weeks following a clumsy effort against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup at the end of October. In his last three games, the Frenchman has scored twice.

CB: Adarabioyo Tosin There will still be a lot of seasoned quality on display, even though Maresca is probably going to give inexperienced players a chance on Thursday. One player who will join the squad despite rarely playing in the Premier League is Adarabioyo.

LB: Veiga Renato This season, the adaptable Veiga has been a Conference League mainstay, mostly making an impression on the field. The Portuguese could be useful in Kazakhstan because of their versatility.

DM: Sam Rak-Sakyi The 19-year-old has been a benchwarmer twice in the Conference League after making his Chelsea debut in the team’s 8-0 thumping of Noah on Matchday 3. On Thursday, the highly regarded midfield player might get his first start.

DM: Dewsbury-based Kiernan Dewsbury-HallUnfortunately, Hall must compete with Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernandez for a starting position. That’s midfield players for £279 million. Nevertheless, the Conference League is keeping him in shape.

RW: Pedro Neto: Ato Ampah, 18, should share the minutes with the Portugal international, but Neto may receive the run-out here due to his suspension for this weekend’s Premier League match.

AM: Carney Chukwuemeka: Chukwuemeka’s development at Chelsea has been hampered by his injury issues. The attacking midfielder needs to establish his value in Europe when given the opportunity, as he hasn’t started a single game this season.

LW: Tyrique George—Joao Felix has not traveled due to rumors of a potential injury, which should allow George to start.

ST: Marc Guiu Given the outstanding play of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson in recent months, Guiu has had difficulty getting minutes. He will be looking to increase his total on a chilly evening after scoring his first Chelsea goal against Noah a month ago.
