Enzo Fernandez and Raheem Sterling have helped Chelsea to three straight wins - but Blues must show they are for real against Arsenal on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.
Chelsea's 4-1 thrashing of Burnley at Turf Moor earlier this month stands out for a number of reasons. Firstly, it marked just the second time in a year that they had earned three successive victories, coming as it did on the back of a Carabao Cup win over Brighton and three points being claimed at Fulham. The result was also the first time Chelsea had scored more than three goals in a competitive match since a 6-0 thumping of Southampton in March 2022.
Fernandez only showed glimpses of his quality as Chelsea limped to the end of a dispiriting season but Pochettino was in no doubt of Fernandez's ideal role when speaking to Sky Sports in August, firmly stating the 22-year-old 'is a No 8'. The wins over Fulham and Burnley coincided with Pochettino settling on a three-player midfield, with Moises Caicedo as the pivot and Conor Gallagher and Fernandez on either side.
