Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory in their Carabao match against Blackburn at Stamford Bridge tonight. However, Nicolas Jackson's performance statistics indicate that he might not be the ideal choice for the upcoming game against Tottenham.
Chelsea had a sluggish start to the game, maintaining possession but struggling with poor decision-making in the attacking third. Badiashile opened the scoring for Chelsea, and Raheem Sterling's goal in the second half secured the win for the team.
Jackson's display shows that he is low on confidence and here are his statistics for tonight's game:
Jackson is presently experiencing a poor run of form, which could prove detrimental for Chelsea in their upcoming match against Spurs. Pochettino requires a striker who possesses confidence, hunger, and the ability to exploit the opposition's defense. It would be prudent for Chelsea to field the same lineup they used against Arsenal, with Palmer operating as a false nine.
Given Chelsea's recent loss at home to Brentford, it's crucial that Pochettino thoroughly prepares for the game and makes wise choices when selecting the lineup. Chelsea can ill afford another loss, especially against Spurs.
