Chelsea 1-1 Man United: 3 things we learned

What Potter must do with Sterling is simple: play to his strengths and therefore utilise his skill set for the good of the team. That approach will occasionally include not selecting his player among the starters. Remember, in spite of his current ineffectiveness, the onetime Liverpool star has a goal involvement in every other Premier League match for the Blues this season, so he might still prove his worth.

Kepa Arrizabalaga again shows why he’s Chelsea’s No.1 goalkeeper

The new first choice stopper at the Bridge: Kepa. To be fair, the Spaniard had acquired and relinquished that status during the earlier stage of his Blues career, dramatically. The 28-year-old’s in-game tenacity to succeed along with his mental fortitude under extreme media and external pressure is admirable. His persistence to cement himself in the CFC side once more and somewhat clear his name as an elite professional is remarkable, to say the least.

Versus the Red Devils Kepa made five saves, which includes a couple of superb stops that definitely ruined very opportunistic moments for the visitors. If Edouard Mendy is to reclaim his spot, he will possibly only do so through the Carabao Cup. A great display against the Citizens in November feels like the only chance for the Senegalese with his colleague in showcasing such dazzling play. Even in that scenario, the place is Kepa’s to lose; let’s hope silly mistakes don’t decide this one.
