Chelsea have made 85 changes so far this season, 16 more than Liverpool. Premier League leaders Arsenal have rotated the third-most players at 67.
However, Maresca's approach to selection is in line with the board, sporting directors and his staff, which all believe rotation the team is the best way forward.
The Mirror says Maresca has the full confidence of the club's owners after winning the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup last season.
Chelsea currently sit in seventh place on the Premier League table, and are 12th on the Champions League ranking.
