Right wing: Raheem Sterling (England)

The former Manchester City and Liverpool winger returned to pre season and was pretty unconvincing yet again. However Pochettino trusted him with the task at hand and he did not disappoint. He looked decent overall and would want to build on that performance.

Left wing: Mykhailo Mudryk (Ukraine)

Although Chukwuemeka was good enough, he still doesn’t seem to be involved for most parts of the game. Also Mudryk’s pre season performances definitely warrant him a place in the starting XI. However if the Argentine tactician decides to not go all out and play with a cautious appraoch, he might consider fielding the tenacious Conor Gallagher in this role who could also add flexibility to this setup.

Striker: Nicolas Jackson (Senegal)

The Senegalese International has not got his first Premier League goal yet but we know that it’s about time he gets that and then breaks records. He looked like he’s got a goal in him throughout the game and that’s something that our strikers at Chelsea have lacked over the last few seasons. He was in the right places, making runs in behind and taking his chances and would want to give us more of the same with the right output this time.
