Chelsea Fans Blast 'Diabolical' Defence Choice

Chelsea supporters have voiced strong dissatisfaction with manager Enzo Maresca's defensive selections for the match against Burnley. The decision to pair Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo at center-back has drawn sharp criticism from fans, many of whom are unconvinced by Adarabioyo's previous performances. Reactions on social media platforms described the partnership as 'diabolical' and 'hideous,' indicating a significant lack of confidence.

Maresca, known for frequent lineup changes, made four alterations for this fixture, including Adarabioyo's entry for Wesley Fofana. The team news also saw captain Reece James return to the lineup, with Moises Caicedo starting on the bench due to late international duty. Andrey Santos has been named in the starting XI in Caicedo's absence.

In a notable individual milestone, forward Alejandro Garnacho is set to reach his 100th Premier League appearance, provided he features against Burnley. The young forward, who has a strong record of 17 goals and ten assists in 99 games, would become the youngest South American to achieve this feat in the league.
