Mauricio Pochettino has plenty of decisions to make when his Chelsea players return to their Cobham training base later in the week. The Blues have suffered two defeats in their opening four games of the Premier League season – with a loss to Nottingham Forest just before the international break. Before that was a win against Luton Town, a defeat to West Ham United and a 1-1 draw with Liverpool on the opening weekend of the season. A trip down to the south coast to take on AFC Bournemouth awaits Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
While there have been promising signs during the early part of Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure with the Blues, losing to West Ham and Nottingham Forest in their opening four games has raised questions. Anything other than a victory on the south coast would have the club veer towards yet another crisis, albeit with the acceptance that such wholesale changes made over the summer would take time to bed in.
The Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is also expected to name a strong line up for their crucial away match against AFC Bournemouth.
