โYes, it will be Robert [Sanchez] playing against Arsenal.
โIโve said many times we are happy with both goalkeepers. But sometimes, you have to be flexible.
โSince we started, the idea wasnโt to change the goalkeeper but you have to be flexible; we do this with the game plan, the way we want to attack and defend, but we also have to be flexible with players [changing the personnel].โ

โItโs quite big [the gap between both sides].
โThe reason why is because they are working with the same manager for five years, so the difference is quite important.
โWith the same players, they have already played some important games. Our target, our duty, is to close that gap between us and them. In this moment, the table says the difference is six points, so we are quite close, but we still have nine games to go.
โIn this moment we have two targets: finish top four or five for the Champions League and the other is [winning] the Conference League.
โThis club is used to playing in finals and fighting for titles, so if we can give the fans and club this chance again then I think itโs important for us.โ
โณ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ข ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ค๐:
โWe hope after the international break [for their returns from injury].
โAt this moment in the season, we have lost key players that are the ones who score the goals. Nico Jackson and Noni Madueke with injury.
โItโs not an excuse, itโs a reality for all clubs when you lose important players. Other players have to come in and do well and they have done.โ

STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 3.5: Had several poor parries from crosses. Distribution was below par as well. Great into the second half and made a good save.
Fofana - 5: Sloppy reactions at times, but made some good tackles and won a few duels. Was probably lucky to not be sent off for a second yellow.
Badiashile - 4.5: Gave the ball away cheaply at times and wasnโt strong enough in duels during the first half. Grew into the game in the second half and made some tackles.
Colwill - 5.5: Did his job to an extent - didnโt really put a foot wrong.
Cucurella - 5.5: The only player to show attacking threat, defended better as the game went on.
Fernandez - 5: Wore his heart on his sleeve as always, but the midfield struggled to find any rhythm.
Caicedo - 6: Tried to be positive and break lines a couple of times through the midfield. Made some good tackles as usual.
James - 5: Nothing special as he ajusts into a new role. Kept things relatively safe. Looked tired towards the end leaving gaps in midfield.
Nkunku - 3: Too passive once again. Totally harmless for the opposition.
Sancho - 4.5: Tried to make something happen but was often left without support. Fell off as the game went on.
Neto - 4.5: Tried his best with little service.
SUBSTITUTES:
Dewsbury-Hall - N/A
George - N/A
Gusto - N/A

Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 1-0 defeat to @Arsenal_london [A] in the Premier League:
๐ค โWe struggled a little bit at the beginning, the first 20 minutes. After that we started to control the game and create some chances.
โThe game was 50/50 in the second half. The big difference was set-piece strategy. We competed well, the game was there. They scored a set-piece, they are masters at that. It is a shame, but my feeling is that we are going in the right direction.โ

โIt makes a huge difference. The three players with the most goals for us were not on the pitch today. Itโs normal offensively we can struggle a little bit, even if until today we are the third best attack in the league.
โThat means in any case we are doing well without those players, but we can do better with the players who are injured at this moment.โ

โWhat I can say about the first game against Arsenal and todayโs game, I donโt see a big difference between us and them.
โSince I arrived, I have the feeling we are in the right path, and we are very close. Probably we just need that step forward to compete in these kind of games, but that step comes also with finishing in a Champions League spot.โ

โHe needs a scan and the scan is planned for tomorrow [Monday].โ
โI donโt think so [whether Palmer will be available for England], to be honest. His injury was from yesterdayโs session - itโs a muscle problem, so I donโt think so.
โWe donโt wish players injured but in Coleโs case [to get a break], in this moment, it will give him some rest physically and mentally. It could be good.โ
