Enzo Maresca has made 85 changes to Chelsea's starting line-ups this season. At an average of 5.7 per game, it is more than any other Premier League manager by comparison.

However, this is not Maresca going rogue with his own personal rotation policy, or suddenly fancying himself a tactical tinkerman, or because he cannot decide on his best XI.

It is with the full backing of the Blues' hierarchy, including co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, both of whom are engaging in constant conversations with Maresca, and Joe Shields, Sam Jewell and their newest addition, Dave Fallows.
