How Chelsea can be Sevilla tomorrow (A Thread)

(FYI I don't know much about Sevilla but I'll try and re-watch the UTD and Barca vs Sevilla game)
Tommorow Chelsea face Sevilla who were last year's Europa league champions and they're a very tough side to play against. Once they score it's oftenly hard to break them down but I'll be talking about how we can beat this team by going through line ups and key...
players that need to shine tommorow night for our game vs Sevilla.

This is how Sevilla lined up (guessed some of the players) last game. It was a pretty flat 433 formation but the way they adapt to a situation is what I will get onto...
How Sevilla play:

When I watched the UTD vs Sevilla game I was intrigued by the changes in formation here are all the formations they used (I only spotted 3 so if there are any more please lmk)...
(ATTACKING)
3-4-3
2-3-4-1
(DEFENDING)
4-1-4-1
Brief Explanation on Sevilla.

I mainly used the Barca game on my analysis on Sevilla since it was the most recent available game. Barca's game plan was to attack the middle, this is because. They lined up in a 4231 but as the game went on they switched to a 442. This formation..
is oftenly good against a 433 formation. When utilised correctly. The 442 helps gain more passing lanes around the formation but since they were out numbered on the flanks therefore they targeted the middle. As the game went on Sevilla became more narrow and this is natural...
in a 433. Barca used this to their advantage and attacked the flanks and that's the main area where they look to threat. Sevilla were dragging the opposition on one side to overload a flank, in this match it was mainly the right side and they attacked the left through diagonal...
balls or quick 1 touch passing to get there. They have a really well organized press especially up front. That's why we need comfortable ball playing defenders and that why I'd like to play Zouma, Silva and Kovacic as the press resistant key to our main XI. I want to rest...
Pulisic for the UTD game but CHO on the left is still so good. He can help hurt the defence especially on the flank since he's such a creative winger. Good game for him to play especially because it's the UCL.
5 players that need to shine tommorow (if picked ofc):

- Mendy
- Silva
- Ziyech
- Kovacic
- Jorginho
Options 1:

To play it safe I'd like to play a 4231 with imo our best pivot. Jovacic. Silva RCB and Zouma LCB. It's between Azpi and Reece for me, Azpi's french speaking and captaincy is needed though but I want Reece's crossing and creativity on the rhs. Mendy a no brainer.
From a tactical perspective I'd go for a 4-4-2. Might be very flat and open but creating width and making lot's of passes around the formation here's my 2nd and last option only to try something...

I don't trust the team though to play it. The formation accommodates Werner.
(Ik I didn't include Mount but it's my preferred line-up)

I'm predicting a win ofc and I'm optimistic for tommorow.

Prediction: 3-1
