Premier League 2018/19: Chelsea vs Crystal Palace

This match analysis was first featured on our dedicated Chelsea site, feelchelsea.com.

It was just a matter of time before Chelsea F.C. were able to work on and offset its main build-up flaw which is not switching the play to the open flanks and keeping it to the central regions instead.
Chelsea are now getting better in making positional attacks, meaning that it is the perfect time to get over to BoDog and check out their excellent offers when it comes to betting on a Chelsea win.
Sarris intense passing requirement is well-synchronised with this positional attacking tactic and enables Chelsea to add up its possible angles and areas to penetrate and attack  something Chelsea has been missing at the very start of the season due to its centrally biased offensive plays.
This tactical analysis piece gives insights into how Chelseas positional attacks overpowered Crystal Palaces highly uncoordinated defence and prevented the away team in neutralising Chelseas lead in the second half.

Formation analysis

Chelsea played with their usual 4-3-3 formation. The first half was minus Hazard who later replaced Willian in the second half. Another important substitution was Kovacic coming on in place of Barkley to improve the midfield solidity after Chelsea conceded an equaliser in the second half.
