Chelsea are gearing up to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League tomorrow at Stamford Bridge Stadium. After a tough loss to Liverpool in their last Premier League match, the West Londoners are eager to bounce back and reclaim their winning form against Wolves.
Despite their recent setback, Chelsea shouldn’t underestimate Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have previously proven their ability to challenge top teams in the competition.
Well, in this article, I will be highlighting two key mistakes Mauricio Pochettino should avoid repeating in Chelsea’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
1. Playing Cole Palmer As A Striker.
Against Liverpool, Cole Palmer struggled in the striking position, limiting his attacking effectiveness.
It’s crucial for Mauricio Pochettino to learn from this mistake and refrain from deploying Cole Palmer upfront. Instead, considering Christopher Nkunku, who is fully fit and capable of leading Chelsea’s attack against Wolves, could provide a more dynamic option.
2. Playing Axel Disasi In The Right-Back Position.
Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to play Axel Disasi as a right-back has raised eyebrows, given his natural position as a central defender.
Disasi has shown vulnerabilities in tracking opposition wingers, potentially exposing Chelsea’s defensive line. Mauricio Pochettino should consider deploying Malo Gusto, a natural right-back, or utilize Axel Disasi in his preferred central role or as a bench option, to strengthen Chelsea’s defensive setup against Wolves.
