Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has been cautioned about the potential threat posed by Crystal Palace, but there is a double omen suggesting a Chelsea victory in the upcoming match. Despite the warning, Pochettino is under pressure to deliver results, especially since the team's target was to be on top, and they are currently far from that position. Pochettino has acknowledged the season's challenges, citing injuries and suspensions, and emphasized the need for Chelsea to be near the top of the league. He is demanding more from his team as they prepare for their final home game of 2023, aiming to build a consistent winning streak at Stamford Bridge after a year-and-a-half of unsatisfactory results. The recent win against Crystal Palace has bought Pochettino another two weeks, but with Chelsea in 10th place after spending £1b, there is an urgent need to improve their league standing. Pochettino also highlighted the need for players like 'upset' Madueke to match their quality with the right attitude and for Nkunku to do more to gain his trust.
