Glenn Hoddle believes Thiago Silva is the only 'shoo-in' to start for Chelsea, despite the club spending £323m in January... as he claims Graham Potter still 'doesn't know his best team' after the Blues' goalless draw with Fulham

Glenn Hoddle has claimed that Thiago Silva is the only guaranteed starter for Chelsea following their goalless draw against Fulham on Friday night.

The Blues spent a staggering £323m in January, and threw record-signing Enzo Fernandez straight into their starting line-up, while Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and David Datro Fofana also made their first Stamford Bridge appearances.

But the Blues couldn't find a way through, and Hoddle believes Graham Potter still has some problems to solve to get the best out of his team, with Silva, who signed on a free transfer in 2020, the only player that has to be on the teamsheet.
