Well if Winks is struggling to find starts, while Dembele and Wanyama are out, as Sissoko is now ahead of him, despite some people believing Winks played better than Dembele on some occasions last year. I think the chances of Edwards being 'physically ready' and featuring while Eriksen is out is slim to none

A little bit of apples to oranges in here - the role Sissoko plays is not really the same as Dembele's (or Winks) - so its not really accurate to say Sissoko is "ahead" of Winks. Poch may prefer the direct running that Sissoko brings to the midfield, but its hard to judge with diversity of tactics, and with Winks recovery from injury.
I still think Winks has a bright future here - though maybe not on the England WC squad, as some had him pegged.

Winks has said himself that he wasn't fully fit before the Barnsley game. He was never going to start twice in a week after only just getting fit.
"Obviously I've been struggling a little bit with my ankle so it was a good chance to put everything to bed, get a good 90 minutes. I feel like I'm 100 percent now," Winks said after the match at Wembley. "It was a perfect opportunity to really put everything behind me and just move on, and start the season from now.
"I've been playing with a little bit of a niggle here and there. In the last week-and-a-half or two weeks, it really started to get back to normal and I'm delighted with that. I got pulled out of the England U21 squad just to try and get it right. I got some advice from some specialists and since then it's really started to progress and I'm really happy with that.
"It's difficult when you're playing at 70 percent in training and you know you're really giving it everything you can, but there's a little bit of pain here and there, which is frustrating. But it's football. Luckily enough I can say, touch wood, that everything's OK now and it's really feeling good and I'm feeling confident and strong.
"We've got a lot of games coming up. They come thick and fast so it's a good time for me to really start feeling 100 percent now and start to kick on.".

Timothy Eyoma and Tashan Oakley-Boothe named in U17 World Cup squad. You guys know more than me but this squad seems outrageously talented:

Sancho, Foden, Kirby & Gomes are all incredible talents

And will inevitable get no where near the Chelsea first team so will just be sold when his potential isn't reached due to shite coaching.

No TOB probably means he is with the first team exclusively today either on the bench or backup if there is a late injury.
A front four of Edwards, Shashoua, Roles, and Sterling should score 20 goals though I suspect

No offence which player will get near the first team, most of these guys wont get their near first team due to lack of opportunities

He's also captained this age group in the past at u16 level.

Looking at numbers, I'm expecting both TOB and Georgiou on the bench tonight.No TOB probably means he is with the first team exclusively today either on the bench or backup if there is a late injury.
