CHELSEA:

Chelsea’s team to face Man City.

There were a few big decisions for Liam Rosenior to make today, starting at the back. With Trevoh Chalobah out, the manager has gone with Jorrel Hato at centre back alongside Wesley Fofana.

That’s pretty damning for the likes of Mamadou Sarr and Tosin Adarabioyo. Of course Hato has some experience playing centre back, but it’s not his strongest position, and he will be up against Erling Haaland and an in form City attack.

In midfield, Enzo Fernandez is replaced in the number 10 spot by Cole Palmer. Estevao and Pedro Neto are the selections out wide.

Moises Caicedo will be partnered by Andrey Santos in the middle of the pitch.

Rosenior could easily have put in another midfielder here and left Palmer out wide, so this is an attacking decision. THe manager said he was going to attack, and he’s lived up to his word.
