The Premier League Summer Series will now have Chelsea play against Newcastle United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Mauricio Pochettino’s side have been pretty impressive so far. Our wonderkids have been given their chances, formation seems to be good enough and the supporters now have a rough idea as to what they can expect from this team.
However the Blues did concede 3 goals against Brighton. And although Cesare Casadei and Andrey Santos look promising, it’s clear as day that the midfield needs reinforcements. The west Londeners play Liverpool in 3 weeks and its high time we come to an agreement with the Seagulls over Caicedo or consider the other available options on the market.
Chelsea predicted XI (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper: Kepa Arrizabalaga (Spain)
It seemed like the decision was made for Arrizabalaga to continue as Chelsea’s no.1 for the upcoming season with one of the young keepers stepping up and serving as deputy. But the fans have watched the Spaniard for years like a cat on hot bricks and after conceding 3 goals on the weekend, the concerns re-emerge. However the Gaffer will try helping him build sharpness and put out the best version of the Spaniard against Klopp’s men.
