Someone not named Thomas Tuchel will be taking charge of Chelsea against Fulham on Saturday. It has been a rough couple of days for the Blues, losing 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb and then dismissing their manager the following morning.
The Blues sit sixth in the Premier League table and have now appointed Brighton & Hove Albion’s Graham Potter, whose former team are currently fourth in the league table. CFC fans reacted sharply to the sack, with the general consensus being that it was harsh. However, it seems the Chelsea board was not interested in pursuing the project any longer. The next lineup will be selected by Potter – so who do we think he starts?
Kepa Arrizabalaga (No. 1) Goalkeeper, Spain
Edouard Mendy is still injured so Arrizabalaga will be between the sticks again. He was OK against Zagreb, making two saves, including one very impressive one where he tipped the ball onto the crossbar.
