Graham Potter's Chelsea decision has already been made amid Koulibaly and Ben Chilwell dilemma

For all of Graham Potter's tactical flexibility, his tinkering and changing in the early months at Chelsea and the rotation, his team has been consistent for a while.

There have been times of change. The 2-1 defeat against Fulham saw a three man defence used for the first time after the World Cup whilst the trip to Anfield was a blend of a 3-4-3 and a 4-3-3. The latter is closer to what was expected of Potter at Stamford Bridge.

Since then, things haven't been too hard to predict. The Blues have turned to a 4-2-3-1 shape with similar personnel too. Injured players coming back have been slowly bedded in with Reece James now occupying the right-back spot once more.
