EPL: Chelsea Will Attack Man City From Start To Finish –Pochettino

Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino has vowed that the Blues will attack Man City from start to finish in today’s Premier League game.

Recall that the last time both teams met at Stamford Bridge, the game ended in a thrilling 4-4, with Cole Palmer scoring a stoppage time penalty.

However, Pochettino in a chat with AFP said that the team will attack City from start to finish.

With 14 games to go, Chelsea have already scored three more league goals than they managed in the whole of the previous campaign, when only four sides netted fewer.

“If we go there and wait to see what’s going on, it’s a team that can dominate you and will make you suffer,” the Argentine said on Friday. “The most important thing we realised is that we need to attack, be able to run and to make the effort all together.

“The most important thing is to go there and be brave, to challenge them.”

Saturday’s game will be the first time Palmer has returned to the Etihad since his £40 million ($50 million) move to west London in September.

“He’s not the type of player that needs to prove anything,” said Pochettino. I think he really is very grateful for his period at Manchester City, (but) he left the club because he wanted to find another challenge and to have the possibility to play more.

“Man City have an amazing squad. (Clubs) make decisions that we think are the best for the team. It doesn’t mean someone is not a good player.

“Sometimes the circumstance doesn’t match. Players want to leave and you can’t stop them because you can’t provide the game time.”
