Chelsea have depth in almost every position except the strikers. They have just a handful of center-forwards which include Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi.

Morata has not performed well in the pre-season, which will be a worry for Sarri. Batshuayi, on the other hand, was on loan for Borussia Dortmund last season where he performed quite well.

Sarri will hope that Batshuayi performs well when he is given a chance to play for a club of this stature.

The manager has another striking option in Giroud, who can be used as a substitute and help Chelsea score some goals. While his stats may not be too impressive, Giroud is a strong physical presence and can create goals when required.
