Former Chelsea star William Gallas has urged Graham Potter to solve an issue on the team's left-side involving Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell, adding that the manager may not know his best starting XI at this stage. It comes after the Blues have started to pick up some form, winning their last three games on the bounce after a barren spell.
A return to action for Chilwell has come amidst that, with the wing-back suffering injury issues for the early half of the season. There has also been an uptake in form for Cucurella, who had struggled to settle since joining from Brighton in the summer, with a mixture of illness and new surroundings playing their part.
After victory against Leicester on Saturday, manager Graham Potter paid tribute to the whole team for their performance, saying: "It's been a team performance over the week. It takes time to develop that, but the spirit is growing. The togetherness I really like, fighting to play, ready to play.
