Chelsea's recent 3-1 win over Liverpool reflects significant improvements in their midfield, particularly with the trio of Moisés Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Enzo Fernández. This match marked only their sixth collective start, setting a solid foundation for Chelsea's Champions League aspirations. Manager Enzo Maresca's innovative choice to position Caicedo at right back, along with Lavia and Fernández in central midfield, was effective. Conversely, Liverpool struggled with injuries and absences in their midfield, emphasizing its crucial role in the outcome of matches.
"This was also only the sixth time Lavia, Fernández and Caicedo have started together for Chelsea. The combination proved too much for Liverpool and was the bedrock of a victory that keeps the Blues on track to secure the UEFA Champions League spot they crave."
"Manager Enzo Maresca has opted for an unconventional way of accommodating all three players, selecting Caicedo at right back for the third game in succession and allowing Lavia and Fernández to form a dynamic and combative central-midfield pairing."
