Jorginho is expected to start in the holding midfield role, having replace N’Golo Kante in front of the defence.
Frenchman Kante is given more of a free role under Sarri and Redknapp believes the use of Jorginho has worked wonders.
“I think Jorginho has been a revelation,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.
“I’ve watched him closely obviously playing in those midfield positions. I love the way he just controls the game.

“He’s like the manager on the field for Sarri.
“Obviously he was his first signing; he identified him as the man that can make that difference because normally that is Kante’s role.
“Kante has been shifted slightly to the right hand side, but Jorginho is the man – he is the maestro in the team.”
Jorginho had four seasons at Napoli before making the move to Stamford Bridge.
