Last Saturday Getafe failed to break the black streak and suffered a fifth defeat in a row. It should be noted that the hosts lost four times dry. The metropolitan team spent about ten million euros on strengthening the squad, in addition, they invited Michel to the post of head coach. All this did not help and before this game the team shared the last place with Alaves. Following the defeat to Barcelona (1:2), when the Blues scored the only goal in the current championship, there were two fiascoes with Elche (0:1) and Rayo Vallecano (0:3). There is only Arambarri in the Spanish Chelsea infirmary, who has a muscle injury.
Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League last season and won the Champions League. The victory in the most prestigious club tournament in Europe justified all the team’s failures in the home championship. The main transfer news of the Blues was the transfer of Romelu Lukaku, for which they gave Inter 115 million euros. The start of the new football year brought victory in the UEFA Super Cup, which the retirees took away from Villarreal in a penalty shootout. After four rounds of the English Championship, Thomas Tuchel’s charges have three wins and 10 points, which brought the second position. It is impossible not to note the quality of the defense line, which passed only once. The first game of the Champions League group round for the “aristocrats” ended with a victory over Zenit (1:0). Pulisic, who has an ankle injury, will not play today.
