#1 Defensive vulnerabilities for Chelsea

David Luiz was at fault for The Magpies' only goal

Maurizio Sarri is known for his attacking mentality, and he has brought the same into Chelsea. However, they have looked far from convincing in defense so far. Last week they conceded two goals against Arsenal, and here again they got exposed at the back.

David Luiz failed to mark his man, and Joselu headed the ball past the keeper from the near post. To be potent title challengers, they need to sort the defense fast. Or else the Premier League will be a far fetched dream.
