4) Coutinho
With Raheem Sterling still a little rusty after his mid-season break, and Adam Lallana unlikely to start because of the injury he picked up on New Year’s Day versus Leicester, the Brazilian magician will be charged with opening up the excellent Blues defence. Coutinho will have rapid Sterling as an option in behind, and it could be this combination which makes us chances. The 22-year-old has been excellent recently, and he has the ability to carve open even the best defences in Europe. The key will be Coutinho finding the pockets of space between Chelsea’s defence and midfield.
