Chelsea v Arsenal (Wed, 20.00 BST)
In Liam Rosenior’s first game in charge, Chelsea lined up in the 4-2-3-1 formation that their supporters are very well used to under former manager Enzo Maresca.
The Blues switched to a 3-4-3 with the ball as the left-back, Jorrel Hato against Charlton, moved into the midfield to join the attack and also scored the opener in the FA Cup third-round tie.
Chelsea had a whopping 74% possession and had 24 shots – with 12 of them on target. They also played plenty of short passes – characteristic of Rosenior’s Strasbourg side.
However, there was still discontent among the fans during the cup fixture with Chelsea failing to score up until the final minutes of the first half.
The fans chanted “attack, attack, attack” as Chelsea probed for a breakthrough as they continued their protest against the club’s ownership.
And Rosenior will know he will need to keep winning to have the fans fully behind him.
