Graham Potter facing crucial Chelsea selection decision in first Premier League game in charge

Graham Potter won't get much sympathy from managers around the world when it comes to his squad choices. The small violins will be out in force as the new coach tries to look at his squad on the pitch and also balances that with rotation, fixture congestion and form.

With £93m worth of goalkeepers alone, Potter's resources at Stamford Bridge are in a world of their own compared to most Premier League sides. His choice will be a tough one nonetheless though. It was Kepa Arrizabalaga - £71m worth of goalkeeper - that played in Potter's only game in charge so far against RB Salzburg, and it's hard to know if it was out of choice of necessity.

The Spaniard featured whilst Edouard Mendy - a mere £22m worth of keeper - was out injured. The debate comes after Kepa played in the Champions League opener under Thomas Tuchel though.
