Comments:

League position: 10th . Chelsea had now taken 31 points from their 23 games so far in this Premier League season; 13 points fewer than at the same stage of the previous season. . The Blues had now scored four goals in their ten games in all competitions so far in 2023. . They became the last team to concede a goal in the first-half of a home game in this Premier League season. . César Azpilicueta's replacement in the 84th minute was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make six substitutions during the game.

Comments:
