The team scored a total of 15 goals in the first 15 rounds, but forward Rafinha alone took care of 6 of them, while the rest of the players scored no more than two goals, which shows that the team's offensive firepower is still a bit single. At the same time, the team's backline was not solid, conceding a total of 22 goals in the first 15 rounds. In addition, the team's away record in the league is not ideal, and only one victory has been achieved in the first seven rounds of matches, so this round of away victories is actually not much.
Chelsea has achieved a certain psychological advantage in the last 6 meetings between the two sides, 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, coupled with the performance of the two teams this season, Chelsea has recently declined in form but the overall performance is still very good, this round Chelsea should be able to take advantage of the home field to get rid of the recent decline.
