How Chelsea Could Lineup vs Bournemouth factoring fitness

Chelsea is finally back in Premier League action in just five days' time, welcoming Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge for the Tuesday evening kick-off on the 27th.

Mixed sentiments right now I am definitely from Chelsea fan, but for me, I’m absolutely happy and 

delighted for club football to be back. I

recognized and enjoyed/needed the break from it, but I’ve reset my assumption, honed in my emotions (for now at least), and I’m ready to watch Chelsea again!

In terms of form, it’s pretty much a clean slate due to the break and the rest, which Chelsea has really needed. But before the break, we all know that our form and concert were poor and saw us slip into 8th 

location in the Premier League

As for Bournemouth, before beating Everton 3-0 in their last game before the break, they hadn’t won a game since October 8th when they beat Leicester. They currently sit in the 14th spot in the league.

The two clubs have only met 17 reasons in the past, with Chelsea winning 11 of those, and only 1 draw has been played out.

However, in recent times, Bournemouth has become a bit of a bogey team for Chelsea, winning 3 of the 5 they’ve ever won, since a 3-0 victory over us in 2018.

Chelsea has drawn one and lost two in the last three matches, suffering an embarrassing 4-0 defeat in January 2019.

So, it’s not going to be a simple game for Chelsea at all, as it never is in this league. But I do 

contemplate us to get the job done.

However, in recent times, Bournemouth has become a bit of a bogey team for Chelsea, winning 3 of the 5 they’ve ever won, since a 3-0 victory over us in 2018.

And Chelsea hasn’t 

literally beaten Bournemouth since that same year, with a 1-0 win in The League Cup in December 2018.

Chelsea has drawn one and lost two in the last three matches, suffering an embarrassing 4-0 defeat in January 2019.

So, it’s not going to be a simple game for Chelsea at all, as it never is in this league. But I do anticipate us to get the job done.

Obviously

forecasting a Potter starting formation is nearly unfeasible. But I’m basing this off injury and World Cup position.

Wesley Fofana is obviously now injured. Mason Mount will be a doubt due to missing the friendly against Brentford with an injury even though he has returned to training today. Reece James should be 

fine to go.

Kepa Arrizabalaga I think has been playing and teaching again, but we still aren’t totally sure if he’s good to go yet. In midfield as ably, Mateo Kovacic might be thrown in there, but he 

actually shouldn’t be after playing so much at the World Cup. Lewis Hall 

justifies keeping a starting spot on merit.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
