RWB – Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Loftus-Cheek

With Reece James sidelined, Potter is having to make do with his options on the right flank. Loftus-Cheek did a decent enough job on Wednesday so he will probably retain his place this weekend.

There is no doubt that Loftus-Cheek would much prefer playing in central midfield, and the Blues will need to find a more appropriate understudy for James when the transfer window reopens in January.
