The eyes of the sporting world will be focussed on Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
After the catastrophic performance, against Bournemouth in midweek, the media vultures will be looking to see if Maurizio Sarri can turn things around or whether his tenure as the manager of Chelsea Football Club could be less than a season.
The Premier League can be very unforgiving with its demands for instant success, something Sarri is fast discovering.
A top-four finish remains a necessity for Chelsea, a second season without Champions League football isn’t something the Stamford Bridge hierarchy would welcome.
The Chelsea support, on the back of the abysmal display at Bournemouth, might be hoping for Sarri to make some changes, Hudson-Odoi starting, Kante back in his familiar role and Jorginho dropped, to name but three.
But, with the team-sheets now available for your perusal, you’re about to see if Sarri is at all flexible.
