Mauricio Pochettino will almost certainly be considering his system and formation when Chelsea return from the international break.
It has been in indifferent campaign for the Blues so far, with them already having two losses in their opening four games.

There have been some questions asked by supporters about why the team are playing the way they are, especially after a really promising pre-season campaign.
A team with a recognised four-at-the-back was what went well, and there are three Chelsea players who could very obviously improve if that was to return.

The vice-captain has been played far higher up this season than he ever has in his career.
He is essentially playing as a winger, which doesn’t seem to bring out the traits that he is strongest in as far as attacking.
A return to a natural full-back role where he is able to thrive, and that will also open the wing position to someone else…

Chilwell featuring so high on the left has made it very difficult for Mykhailo Mudryk to register any meaningful minutes this season.
His time on the pitch has been limited to facing up against sides who are defending deep late in the game in order to avoid Chelsea getting back into the game.
A run of time in the starting team is something that the Ukraine international would really benefit from, after hardly finding that up this point in his career at Stamford Bridge.

After all the excitement about him remaining at Stamford Bridge, there will be one or two who have been underwhelmed by Levi Colwill so far.
However, it does seem as if this can be put down to being played away from his strongest position of centre-back, with him occupying a left-back role in the absence of Chilwell there.
A shift into the middle seems the perfect opportunity for the youngster to show exactly why he is so highly regarded in the game right now.
