3 Blues Pochettino has to start against Luton Town

3. Moisés Caicedo

It is no secret that the most expensive transfer in the history of English football did not begin life at his new club on the right foot. The Ecuadorian made more than one error while on the pitch in the second half, giving the home team life when the Blues were in search for a creator in the attacking third.

Luton Town on Friday is what Moises Caicedo needs to get back in track in a blue shirt. He is obviously a special talent, and as time passes, he and Fernandez could be the best midfield pairing in the Premier League. With the west London outfit down a goal, the newcomer was thrown in the fire a little bit. The midfielder had another week to digest to life at his new club, and should be prepared to produce a bounce back display in front of the faithful fans at the Bridge.

2. Raheem Sterling

New number. New Raheem Sterling. There was nobody that was more effective going forward against West Ham than the former Manchester City forward. Some could argue that was his best game since joining the west London side. Sterling had 10 progressive carries, and six successful take ons during his 90 minutes between the white lines.
