A welcome return
With Kalidou Koulibaly suspended following his red card against Leeds United, there was always going to be a change in the Chelsea defence. The question was how Thomas Tuchel would cover the absence of the Senegal international on the left of his central defensive three.
The answer? Start with a back four and bring in Trevoh Chalobah for his first appearance of the campaign. The 23-year-old had watched on from the substitutes' bench against Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United but was brought in to play alongside Thiago Silva and next to Reece James.
