Chelsea, under manager Enzo Maresca, has quickly adapted to his style of play, aiming to return to the Champions League. Despite a strong third-place standing, Maresca sees room for improvement as they prepare for a match against Southampton. Defender Wesley Fofana's injury poses a challenge for the team.

Chelsea's football squad has swiftly embraced Enzo Maresca's tactical vision with surprising effectiveness, the manager revealed ahead of their Premier League clash with Southampton.

Maresca, who took on the role earlier this year to propel Chelsea back into the Champions League, is currently steering the team to third in the league standings, only trailing Liverpool and Arsenal.
