Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has explained why he opted to deploy Reece James in a midfield role against Tottenham.
The Blues captain, ordinarily a right-back, lined up in a double midfield pivot alongside the influential Moises Caicedo for Saturday evening’s London derby clash in the Premier League, with Enzo Fernandez playing in a more advanced role alongside Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto, in support of lone striker Joao Pedro.
