Raheem Sterling was making those Manchester City-type runs from out to in to receive the ball, albeit on the right wing. Cole Palmer was busy,. Conor Gallagher was harrying and hassling in midfield and Enzo Fernandez was offering a demonstration of his passing range. Arsenal were spooked.. Chelsea are unbeaten in four games and can beat Brentford and Blackburn over the next 10 days to create momentum before Tottenham and Manchester City aim to puncture it.
But, as with their opponents, we’re back onto the goalkeeper issue. It doesn’t matter if your new goalkeeper is capable of playing clever passes into midfield or sweeping behind an ageing central defender if he’s also liable to give the ball straight to an opponent and change the course of the match in an instant.
Chelsea had a choice over the summer. Kepa had fought back into relevance and performed very well last season. He “saved” Chelsea five goals according to the statistical model that judges goals prevented according to the quality of chances faced, the third best in the division behind Alisson and Bernd Leno.
