Chelsea star, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is set for showdown talks with the Blues as he seeks clarity over his future and role in the first team this season.
The World Cup star failed to join an English team this summer with hopes that he can stake a claim for a place in the club’s first team.
He has also been assured by Maurizio Sarri that he has a place in their first team.
However, he has failed to make it into their matchday squad for any of their first two games of the season.
Sun Sport claims that Loftus-Cheek has asked to be given clarification about his chances of making it into the first team as he fears he may lose his place in England’s national team if he doesn’t play enough games this season.
He is behind the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Jorginho and Ross Barkley in the pecking order, the arrival of Matteo Kovacic from Real Madrid also increases competition for a place in the Blues’ midfield.
With the new season underway, some of the most popular websites in the world are prediction sites that offer free or premium soccer predictions to fans and bettors all over the world.

At the end of the day soccer prediction sites may be trending, but they still have a long way to go in meeting the fastest growing football clubs on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, perhaps with some more accurate predictions and good reputation, they would get close.
Gent have been in fine form in this competition until now and they face a Bordeaux side who have recently run into some crisis that could spoil the hard work they have done until now.
After beating Mariupol last week to reach this round Bordeaux fired Gus Poyet after he openly criticised the club’s decision to sell striker Gaetan Laborde against his will.
He had told them to only sell when they have replaced him, but the club did not heed his advice and the Uruguayan branded their action a disgrace.
The club’s president thought he went too far and decided to fire him to show him who the boss was.
This situation would certainly affect their players when they take to the team for this game and that would give Gent an advantage which they should take in this first leg.
Gent come into this game in fine form having won their last four games and they would be looking for a fifth consecutive win against this French visitors who struggled without their manager in their last game against Toulouse.
Gent haven’t lost any of their last six home games and they have scored 11 goals in their last four games so they have both form and momentum on their side ahead of this game.
This is the first meeting between these teams.

Besiktas have begun their league campaign with two wins from as many games and they would be looking to get through to the Europa League group stage in this game as well. The Turks competed in the Champions League last season and they were impressive, whether they can eliminate Partizan Belgrade would depend largely on how they perform in this first leg away from home.
Partizan would be keen to get a good first-leg advantage at home here so they can stop Besiktas. They have shown that they are not a team that seats back and defend after winning both legs against Nodjelland in the last round.
They have collected 7 points from four games in their domestic league this season.
Besiktas are hoping to win back their league crown at the end of this season and they have started well.
They reached the Europa League quarterfinals in 2017 and topped their Champions League group last season before exiting at the Round of 16, so reaching the group stage is the only thinkable outcome from this round for their fans.
Besiktas won 2-1 in their last meeting with Partizan, however, that was about four years ago and they may be facing a stronger team this time around.

Manchester manager, Pep Guardiola has begun making plans to add yet another superstar to his starstudded line up in the next transfer window.
The former Barcelona boss signed only Riyad Mahrez last summer, but he had also wanted to sign a midfielder and had an agreement in place to sign Jorginho, however, the Italian decided to move to Chelsea instead.
Guardiola also saw his hopes of using Douglas Luiz as a backup midfielder dashed after the Brazilian failed to secure a work permit.
Sun Sport is reporting that Guardiola is now plotting to sign Wolves’ Ruben Neves for £60 million in the next transfer window.
Neves was the star of Wolves’ Championship winning team last season and he has continued to impress in the Premier League.
The 21 years old scored one and set up another goal in Wolves’ 2-2 draw against Everton in their first Premier League game of the season.

Chelsea fans have been given a timely update on the future of Eden Hazard by no other person than the Belgian attacker himself.
Hazard has been a target of Real Madrid for the past few months and he has openly flirted with them as well, he was expected to leave the Blues before the English transfer window closed so that they would have enough time to replace him, however, that hasn’t been the case.
Hazard has now committed his short-term future to the FA Cup holders but he did not commit long-term future to them.
He told RMC;
“I am happy at Chelsea for now. I have two years left on my contract, and we will see what happens.
“Leave this year? I won’t go. The transfer window in England is already closed.
“Players can leave, but clubs can’t make new signings.
“It would be strange for Chelsea’s people to let me go without signing anyone to replace me.
“You could see once again in the Arsenal game that the fans love me, and I am happy here.
“We will see what happens in a year or two’s time.
“You know what I said after the World Cup finals.
I am happy at Chelsea and I don’t yet want to talk about leaving.
“Plenty of things have been said about me – a lot of rubbish and everything.”
