Apparently Hull will struggle to have a fit starting 11, while on the other hand we have only Barkley out (so far). I'd go with a mix of youth and the reserve players.

                                     Caballero

Ampadu                          Luiz                     Cahill

Zappacosta       Drinkwater  Bakayoko   Emerson

             Sterling         Giroud         Hudson Odoi

 

Leave the big guns on the bench just in case.

Lord knows what Conte's plans are with Bakayoko and Barcelona. He's done well in almost every big game this season, but will he still carry that form against Barca? Could experiment with Luiz in midfield again. 

 

As for the lineup, doubt Sterling will feature at RW.  I'd start Morata. Help him find his feet again. 

 

Edit: Antonio Conte says David Luiz, Ross Barkley and Tiemoue Bakayoko are out

Yeah i don't think Sterling will feature at all just wanted him to haha, Conte suggested that Morata could start today. For the Barcelona game i think we will go for 3-5-2 almost 100%

We are going to have to considering Conte doesn't want us to get over run in the middle and refuses to go back to a back 4. 

Luiz, Bakayoko, Alonso, and Barkley are all out.

We get over run in the midfield with 343 as well

You mean 352? 

In both actually, as soon as an opponent runs by the midfield the back three is fucked. Think we could easily play 4-3-3 with Kante holding, and Alonso, Christensen, Rudiger and Dave as the back four. Baka and Cesc as the central midfielders with Hazard, Willian etc on the wings and Morata as the solo striker.

Or even 4-2-3-1 we have the players for all the combos.

Alonso would get skinned alive. Considering he is already a liability defensively in our current set up, I couldn't imagine him being a lone Left Back, especially at a top club. 

If we do revert to a back 4, I can only see Alonso becoming a LW option.
