In last week’s 1-0 win away at Bournemouth, the west Londoners began Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson.

And within the second half, Maresca brought on Joao Felix in addition to Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku, with the duo combining for the club’s late winner.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk and 18-year-old striker Marc Guiu were unused substitutes.

Chelsea’s stacked options up top have led to fans questioning where they are going to all fit into Maresca’s system, which comprises of two wingers, a No.10 and a lone centre-forward.

Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s London derby away at rivals West Ham on Saturday – continue to exist talkSPORT – Maresca addressed those concerns, as he outlined where he sees every player featuring.

He said in his press conference: “As left wingers, we’ve Jadon and Misha [Mykhailo Mudryk].

“As right wingers, we’ve Noni and Pedro. As attacking midfielders, we’ve Joao and Cole.

“As a No.9, we’ve Nicolas, Christo [Nkunku] and Marc. We wouldn’t have so many players, we’ve two players for every position.”

He continued: “Christo can play as a No.9 or as an attacking midfielder and a winger.

“Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall] can play within the pocket and wide.

Nkunku and Sancho are just two high-quality forwards at Maresca's disposal

“Pedro was playing as a left-winger because Jadon wasn’t here and fit and, between Misha, Pedro and Jadon, I preferred Pedro for that one game… but that doesn’t mean at all times I’ll prefer Pedro.

“So the squad is kind of clear when it comes to positions. All of them have their position and we’ve two players in each position.

“But because they’re versatile, good and might play in several positions, of course we are able to move them.

Noni Madueke insists Chelsea is a fantastic place to be despite ‘exaggerated’ noise around ‘great guy’ Enzo Maresca’s side

“For instance, Christo played the primary game against Manchester City as a winger.”

It stays to be seen what frontline Maresca will go together with against the Hammers on the London Stadium.

Although Jackson seems destined to steer the road once more having began each of their opening 4 Premier League matches and scored two goals, plus provided one assist.
