Chelsea's midfield hunt goes on
Graham Potter started with a midfield three at the Etihad Stadium, with Conor Gallagher, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic all being chosen in Manchester. However, rather unsurprisingly against a trio of Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva and Rodri, they were dominated throughout the game.
Only when Denis Zakaria came on for the second-half did Chelsea look even half-competent in the middle of the pitch. Chelsea are interested in signing a world-class central midfielder this month but the deal to sign Enzo Fernandez has seemingly reached an impasse.
