When writing recently I’ve focused on some of the key factors you should look at when selecting your team for Last Man Standing. This week I’m getting more specific and giving you my Pick Of The Week.
This week I’m going with Chelsea who are at home to Newcastle.
The Magpies had a terrible transfer window in the Summer but by all accounts started the season well. However, with the injuries stacking up recently they have seen a dip in form (LDDLW) with the only win in 5 against bottom of the table Wolves.
Chelsea on the other hand have only lost one in the last 5 which was an away tie to an on form Liverpool on Sunday. Maresca and his men will be looking to bounce back from this and with only one player out injured (Omari Kellyman). Chelsea’s first team look strong and they have great strength and depth in their squad too.
The Blues have only lost once at home and that was to Man City, their first game of the season and while they have had a couple of draws the team is starting to find a rhythm under the new manager. They have already scored more than double that of Newcastle (17) which is not surprising as they have great firepower up front (Palmer 6, Jackson 5) which I think will be too much for the Newcastle defence.
It’s going to be a crisp sunny day in West London on Saturday, so no surprises weather wise that might impact play.
Chelsea’s last win at home (4-2) against Brighton who play a very similar formation to Newcastle too.
So, in short if you want to go through back The Blues!
Good Luck!
Terry
