Chelsea are 3-0 up on aggregate in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/europa-conference-league\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Europa Conference League<\/a> quarter-final against Legia Warsaw, and may look to rotate for their second leg. So, we could see as full-strength a team as possible for Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were rested on Thursday for Chelsea&#8217;s Europa Conference League win so should return to the midfield here, replacing Reece James and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. But Caicedo is just one yellow card away from a two-game suspension, with this being the final match before the threshold is increased to 15. So Maresca might have that on his mind. But this game is expected to be too soon for Romeo Lavia.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/preview\/chelsea-vs-ipswich-premier-league\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea vs Ipswich predictions, odds and betting tips<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Malo Gusto started at left-back for Chelsea with Marc Cucurella coming off the bench, but he should return to the right with the Spaniard starting. Maresca will surely want to avoid starting James in three consecutive matches, so the Chelsea captain should drop to the bench. <\/p>\n<p>Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah should return as centre-backs too, starting over Benoit Badiashile and Tosin Adarabioyo. Wesley Fofana has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-page__title\">Dabble sign-up offer: <b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Bet \u00a310+ &amp; Receive \u00a310 In Free Bets<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Not signed up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dabble<\/a> yet?

Marc Guiu remains injured.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Sanchez will start in goal, ahead of Filip Jorgensen. <\/p>\n<h2>The importance of Nicolas Jackson<\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea have been linked with a move for Ipswich striker Liam Delap in recent days, amid reports of a \u00a330 million relegation clause in his contract. Maresca was asked about Delap in his pre-match press conference, and led onto explaining his ideal profile for a striker. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My perfect No.9 is exactly Nico Jackson. We already have a No.9. It&#8217;s not summer now,&#8221; Maresca replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we can have a copy of Nico, it&#8217;s OK. I have said many times, and you can see as well, with Nico we are a better team. Nico is the one we need. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last season, he scored goals without penalties. This season he scored goals until he was injured. Now, hopefully he can score more goals without penalties. We are happy with Nico.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jackson has come under criticism at times during his spell with Chelsea, but largely among opposition fans. Although there may have been frustration from Chelsea supporters, the Blues generally back Jackson. And it&#8217;s easy to see why.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1379219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-110x138.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-56x70.jpg 56w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-799x999.jpg 799w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-85x106.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-52x65.jpg 52w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-80x100.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-192x240.jpg 192w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-16x20.jpg 16w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/11170137\/1379212_1379212_nicolas-jackson.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are absolutely a better team with Jackson in their starting XI. He&#8217;s a good goalscorer, averaging 0.43 goals per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, without penalties. Last season he averaged 0.45 goals per 90. Jackson has also averaged 0.24 assists per 90 this season, up from 0.16 in 2023-24.<\/p>\n<p>For all the jokes about his finishing, Jacksons Expected Goals and Expected Goals on Target aren&#8217;t too different. The Senegalese striker has averaged 0.56 xG per 90 in the league this season, with 0.54 xGOT. That&#8217;s a shot placement ratio of 0.96. While it is below 1.0, it&#8217;s not too far off. And all of his xG and xGOT are without penalties. Only two players in the Premier League with at least 1,000 minutes played have a higher non-penalty xG per 90 than Jackson. And those are Erling Haaland (0.67) and Alexander Isak (0.6)!<\/p>\n<p>During Jackson&#8217;s time off due to injury, Chelsea scored six goals across five league games. Four of those came against now-relegated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/southampton-premier-league-outright-odds-squad-tactics-signings\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Southampton<\/a>, with Chelsea failing to score twice.
