Chelsea may be forced to sell over £100m of talent in the coming months due to the potential risk of breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has warned player Jackson about the risk of accumulating yellow cards, indicating discipline within the squad. Pochettino is content with his strikeforce, even after Armando Broja's departure, and has not sought immediate replacements. However, he has highlighted a 'problem' in the team's set-piece capabilities and is looking to sign a player proficient in this area, referencing the impact of specialists like James Ward-Prowse. Pochettino also made a point about Liverpool's development as a model for Chelsea's progress. The club's recent transfer strategies and tactics have sparked debate, with some criticism of their lack of a clear Plan A.
Wolves in full Starting XI: Sa; Kilman, Dawson, Toti; Semedo, M. Lemina, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Neto, Cunha, Sarabia Subs: Bentley, Doherty, S. Bueno, H. Bueno, Doyle, Bellegarde, Griffiths, Chirewa, Fraser #WWFC https://t.co/7YMZQDPmdL
Was hoping to see a Chukwuemeka start after his cameo against Liverpool, instead of Gallagher. Maybe Nico Jackson instead of Sterling. Glad to see Gusto back in the XI, though. Really is a must-win, mostly so the Liverpool disasterclass doesn’t snowball. #CFC https://t.co/KMtCyjgmu9
Interested to see whether it's Cunha (as earlier in the season) or Neto (as at Brighton) who starts furthest forwards for Wolves. Guess both would prefer to play wide but somebody has to do a job for the team. #WWFC https://t.co/7YMZQDPmdL

Doherty, Bellegarde and especially Doyle can feel hard done by. But if you have Ait-Nouri, Gomes and Sarabia all fresh and the game kicks off 64 hours after the last one ended, you have to used them. #WWFC https://t.co/7YMZQDPmdL

"Chelsea have a clear Plan B. The problem with Mauricio Pochettino’s team, however, is that they don’t seem to have a Plan A. We we tend to see a team waiting for opposition errors instead of imposing themselves on matches" ✍️ @allyrudd_times ⬇️ https://t.co/YGMAJCVxiz

Not a surprise Broja doesn't start, joined late on Thursday and match prep will have begun before then. Silva always references the need for new signings to adjust to style etc. https://t.co/2C4StO8dxf
Broja on the bench for his first game. Squad certainly stretched at the moment though. Youthful bench — Sekularac joined by de Fougerolles and highly rated 17yo midfielder Josh King. Ballo Toure returns after AFCON duty. #FFC https://t.co/OAW57pdNrj

⚪️⚫️ Pochettino on Chelsea not replacing Broja: "The options we have upfront is enough". "It's a very good thing for Armando, to have the opportunity for him to play more. It's a good move for him. I hope he can take the opportunity to play more". https://t.co/2pUYFOrYfH
🔵 Pochettino when asked on Chelsea project. "We want results today and it's difficult to wait... but look at Liverpool". "At Spurs we beat them 4-1 at Wembley [in 2017] and a few years later they won the Premier League and UCL". "That defeat was not the end of the world!". https://t.co/mmn6DgB5bh
