As Chelsea gears up for their showdown with Sheffield United tomorrow evening, anticipation runs high among fans. The recent victory over Manchester United, in a thrilling 4-3 encounter at Stamford Bridge, has only fueled the excitement.
Next Challenge Awaits
Mauricio Pochettino’s squad faces an away game on Sunday against Sheffield United, a team currently languishing at the bottom of the league table. The stakes are high, especially after wins for West Ham and Newcastle United, putting pressure on Chelsea to secure three crucial points to stay in contention for European spots.
Calls for Trevoh Chalobah’s Return
Amidst the fervor on social media, Chelsea supporters clamor for Trevoh Chalobah’s reinstatement into the starting lineup. The 24-year-old defender, sidelined due to injury, made a brief appearance from the bench against Man United after missing the previous match against Burnley.
Defensive Dilemma
Criticism was aimed at Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile, who struggled as the starting center-backs against Man United, with one commentator even labeling their performance as “terrible.” Understandably, fans are advocating for a change in the defensive lineup.
Our Preferred Back Four
Given the opportunity to select the team, we’d opt for a different defensive setup. While injuries dictate the full-back combination with Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella, we advocate for Thiago Silva’s inclusion alongside Chalobah in the heart of defense. Despite Silva’s current absence from the starting lineup, we believe his experience could significantly bolster Chelsea’s defensive solidity.
Another wrote: “Chalobah must start Sunday.”
A third posted: “Chalobah needs to start the next match.”
Another shared: “I will admit I didn’t want Chalobah to start yesterday’s game strictly because of match fitness compared to Diassi. But after yesterday, against Sheffield united he deserves to start.”
A fifth supporter claimed: “Chalobah has to start against Sheffield. Disasi and Badiashile don’t work well together.”
Another said: “… Chalobah should start every game till end of season if fit.”
