Chelsea’s next game against Bournemouth would see us facing one of the surprise packages of this Premier League season.
In the three games that have been played so far, the Cherries remain undefeated while we picked up maximum points.
The Blues were made to work hard for three points against Newcastle United last time around but we did dominate possession against Rafa Benitez’s side.
Eden Hazard started the game and was one of the best players on the pitch. The Belgian scored from the penalty spot and was a pain for the Newcastle defence to deal with.
The Belgian was pictured training with a couple of other stars who have done well this season. N’Golo Kante is still working towards understanding his new advanced role in the team while Pedro had a decent outing at St. James’ Park.
Cesar Azpilicueta is a model of consistency for us and the captain from the previous game was put through the paces along with a number of other players.
There was one big question mark in our win against the Magpies and that was Kepa Arrizabalaga’s performance. The young Spaniard was beaten a little too easily in the near post by Joselu and the keeper must be at his best against a bright Bournemouth side.
Olivier Giroud didn’t start against Newcastle but the Frenchman had a role to play in our winning goal. The Frenchman provides a different outlet for the Blues, should we need a change in the second half.
Chelsea haven’t looked convincing under Sarri yet but we are slowly getting there. A good win against Bournemouth will provide us with a lot of confidence going into the international break and keep us at the top of the table.
