Clearly earlier than we get into this one, it’ll all be dependent if his paperwork is put by means of in time as as to if Enzo Fernandez makes his Chelsea debut tomorrow night towards Fulham. However I don’t personally foresee any issues with that.
We’ve had a brief break, and it’s been ideally suited actually as the top of the switch window drew in. It’s been a superb time for Graham Potter to collect his new gamers collectively and begin the gelling course of in coaching and get his directions throughout.
I’m a bit extra optimistic now going into the second half of the season, purely as a result of our beginning line up has been just about absolutely reworked from the primary half of the season. With Enzo Fernandez arriving alongside the shiny new attacking abilities, I’ve a slight perception we will nonetheless make the Champions League spots this season, however it’s going to must be one heck of a push.
This push begins on Friday towards Fulham. As a result of if we aren’t profitable video games like this one, then we could as nicely stop with the UCL push proper now.
The irony after all although, is that Fulham are literally three locations forward of us within the league! However a Chelsea win tomorrow will see them leapfrog Fulham by one level.
Chelsea solely performed Fulham two video games in the past, shedding 2-1. It was Joao Felix’s debut and he bought despatched off. Till that second, I felt we have been profitable that sport fairly comfortably.
Even nonetheless, there aren’t any straightforward video games on this league and it is going to be a troublesome one tomorrow evening, however one I’m assured of profitable. Since beating us, Fulham have misplaced their final two league video games, and Chelsea have hit higher type and bought higher outcomes. The pendulum is swinging in our path, and we now have a win chance of 60%.
The large questions can be who on earth begins this sport? We now have some gamers coming back from damage, and naturally, some new faces. It is going to be very attention-grabbing to see what Graham Potter goes for.
Potter has confirmed he nonetheless has some injured gamers in his squad akin to Mateo Kovacic and Denis Zakaria, however he could have Ben Chilwell, Reece James, and Raheem Sterling again within the squad. However I don’t consider any of them will begin the match.
I consider we would see one thing like this:
Despite the fact that we’re nonetheless lacking gamers, I’m assured that this group could have sufficient to beat Fulham. And I genuinely suppose we now have no selection however handy Enzo his Chelsea debut from the off tomorrow evening, and I’m buzzing for it!
