After getting destroyed by Bournemouth at 4-0, Chelsea is all set to welcome Huddersfield to get over from the trauma of the historical defeat. A home win against the division’s bottom, who lost 10 of their 11 matches.
Chelsea has a record of best home defensive record in the Premier League. Post-nightmare scenario clearly indicates that Chelsea would be desperate to win this one to maintain their position in the league. Although the fans were furious over the decision of replacing the newly signed Gonzalo with Oliver Giroud he did provide a sense of relief to the Blues’ scoring problem but couldn’t help much. Previously, Sarri’s side also suffered a 2-0 loss to Arsenal. definitely, three consecutive losses cannot be afforded. Sarri would be looking to save his job as Chelsea’s campaign look a bit shaky to make it to the top four.
While Huddersfield has lost 11 of their 12 matches in all competitions. Their only point came in handy when they dismantled Cardiff City. They are definitely lacking a sense of motivation especially after the exit of David Wagner.
But so was Bournemouth.
And now Chelsea as well.
