Maurizio Sarri will have decisions to make when it comes to his team next season

How Chelsea could line-up at the start of next season
Not much is likely to change in the Chelsea defence unless Ethan Ampadu or Reece James can push for a starting place.
We could be seeing plenty of the young pair next season but Sarri may want to start with experience rather than throwing the pair in at the deep end.
