Context & news

The Everton scenario is based on a compact block, box defending, transitions and home advantage; it would be strengthened if Chelsea lost the ball high up the pitch or were unable to field their creators. The Chelsea scenario is based on territorial control, high regains and progression through the half-spaces: on October 9, the club credited Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer with 18 ball-carrying runs leading to a shot in its preview presentation for Bournemouth.
