Chelsea has made 85 player changes so far this season, which is more than Liverpool. Arsenal, the current leaders of the Premier League, have also rotated a significant number of players, with 67 changes.

Maresca's approach to selecting the team aligns with the views of the club's board, sporting directors, and staff, who believe that rotating the team is the best way forward.

Enzo Maresca has the full support of the club's owners, who were impressed by his leadership last season, when he guided the team to victories in the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup.

Chelsea is currently in seventh place in the Premier League table and 12th in the Champions League ranking.
