Back on track
It wasn't quite win-or-bust for Chelsea yesterday evening at Stamford Bridge, but another slip-up would've made it very difficult for the Blues to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League. So there was pressure on the players. And pressure on Graham Potter. He needed a statement victory as head coach.
Bold tactical and selection calls were made across the pitch. Chelsea returned to a 3-4-3 shape with Kepa Arrizabalaga continuing in goal. Kalidou Koulibaly returned at left centre-back, Ruben Loftus-Cheek started in midfield, and Mason Mount was moved back into the frontline.
