**Midfield Stars Caicedo and Lavia Push Fernández to Chelsea Bench** Enzo Fernández, the £106.8 million standout from Chelsea's recent 8-0 victory over FC Noah, is set to start on the bench when the team faces Arsenal this Sunday. During the Europa Conference League match, Fernández showcased his talent with a remarkable first-half performance, providing three assists that helped secure the win. His contributions included delivering corners that led to goals from Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi, as well as setting up João Félix for one of his goals. Given Fernández's status as a World Cup winner and his previous record as the most expensive player in England, his dominance in a third-tier European competition was hardly surprising. However, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca's decision to keep Fernández on the sidelines for the second half against Noah raises questions about his management of the player's workload. More likely, the decision reflects the improved balance in the team since Roméo Lavia and Moisés Caicedo have been paired in central midfield, leading to Fernández not starting in the last three league matches. As Chelsea prepares for their clash with Arsenal, it appears that Fernández will continue to play a supporting role from the bench.

Moisés Caicedo's spectacular goal earned Chelsea a hard-fought draw against Manchester United in a thrilling encounter. The match saw a rare moment of joy for United fans when Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in the 70th minute, igniting wild celebrations among the players and staff. Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is temporarily filling in for Rúben Amorim, was particularly animated, pumping his fists, sprinting down the touchline, and celebrating with fervor reminiscent of his playing days. The goal was a significant release of pent-up emotion for the team, as frustrations had been mounting over their recent performances. Despite the excitement of the equalizer, the match highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by Manchester United as they strive to regain their former glory.
