Chelsea Team News

There are a few doubts that Xabi Alonso will have to decide on with key names potentially absent for such an important clash. There will be decisions to be made over some names and whether they should be kept for after the international break.

Joao Pedro is the newest question mark with the manager not ruling him out entirely. He joins the previously injured group of Marco Palestra, Moises Caicedo, Emmanuel Emegha, and Jordan Henderson, all of whom aren’t officially ruled out but may struggle to play substantial minutes.

The Last Word

This is a fixture that should guarantee goals, both teams are strong in transition and have scored a combined 17 goals in their four league matches so far with the Blues having a terrible defensive record, letting in at least two strikes in all but one of their fixtures in this campaign. Whatever the end result, this will likely be an entertaining one of the neutrals.
