Graham Potter faces unwanted Benoit Badiashile decision for Man ... (Football.London)

Chelsea confirmed the signing of Benoit Badiashile from AS Monaco on Thursday afternoon and the French defender could make his debut on Sunday against ...

It will be a game where City will probably have more of the ball than the 53% of possession they had at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. [Potter](https://www.football.london/all-about/graham-potter) saw another two – yes, that's right – of his first-team [players go off injured](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-injury-news-sterling-mount-25908128) when [Chelsea](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc) lost to Sunday's opponents on Thursday night in the Premier League. The ideal debut for Badiashile is probably a home match that, on paper, Chelsea should have most of the ball and there won't be too much asked of the new signing. [Wesley Fofana](https://www.football.london/all-about/wesley-fofana) is still sidelined with a long-term injury and looks set to miss the match in Manchester. However, would it be wise for Potter to throw Badiashile in the starting line-up for his debut away at perhaps the best team in the country? Given his age and the amount of football he's played recently, Silva should be the one who takes a break from the side. One of Koulibaly or Silva need to be rested. However, the club need to take care of such a young player and consider how they introduce him to the senior side. [who has been compared to Antonio Rudiger](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/mikel-arteta-graham-potter-chelsea-25893784?fbclid=IwAR0nIKp-V8NbSZZ8--UWn8YWJo3alkRRbopkZK458Y3IUIZz84WM7O3I9wY), was in attendance at Stamford Bridge on Thursday to see his new team beaten 1-0 by Man City. It will also probably be a game where City have more clear-cut opportunities. Man City away is definitely one that falls under the 'tough' category. And, on top of this, both of these players, who are 38 and 31, respectively, featured heavily for their countries in the Qatar-based tournament.

3 Up & 2 Down: Chelsea FC 0-1 Manchester City (Bitter And Blue)

Trends from the mid-week Chelsea match in the EPL.

Leave it to Pep to use the first half of a highly important Premier League match to troll fans who think they know better than the Catalonian genius. Twitter Managers - Pep commented before the match that he selected his starting XI because it was what the fans wanted. Foden looked out of sorts and never found his way into the match. Grealish and Mahrez combined for the games only goal and Lewis was able to find any space he wanted amid Chelsea’s formation. He made several key tackles in the first half, including a perfectly timed sliding effort just outside the 6-yard box to deny Christian Pulisic. Here’s a look at the good and the bad from Thursday’s Premier League win.

Chelsea XI vs Manchester City: Confirmed team news, predicted ... (Evening Standard)

Graham Potter is dealing with an injury crisis at Chelsea as the club begin their FA Cup campaign away at Manchester City on Sunday.

It would not be a surprise to see the Blues boss call on his younger players in at least some capacity at the Etihad Stadium, such is the level of talent not available in his squad. N’Golo Kante, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Edouard Mendy, Armando Broja and Ben Chilwell are also missing in a bleak situation on the fitness front for the club.
