Potter hits Tuchel problem
Graham Potter and his coaching team had plenty of time to prepare and plan for Chelsea's trip to Crystal Palace. And the decision was taken to move away from the fluid 3-5-2 shape utilised against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League in favour of an attacking 4-3-3 at Selhurst Park.
That meant a back four of Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell. A midfield three of Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount. And an attacking trio of Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
