2 w. ago Roméo Lavia is the ideal cog in Enzo Maresca’s machine – when he is fit

Chelsea are far better with Lavia – as they showed against Liverpool – but he is yet to complete a full game for the clubBy WhoScored“When he is fit, he is one of the best midfielders,” enthused Enzo Maresca after Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Everton a few weeks ago. His team had laboured to a narrow home win but the manager was full of praise for his young midfielder.

Just don’t tell Mikel Arteta that. And not just because rumours of the death of Arsenal’s season are widely exaggerated. There is even a nightmare scenario available to the club’s supporters, a product of the deep banter-verse, where Arsenal don’t make the Champions League next season but Tottenham do. A...
