EPL: Pochettino considering switch to save Chelsea job

Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, is ready to make a big change in his team, in a bid to save his job.

This follows their 4-2 home defeat to Wolves over the weekend.

At the end of the game, there were boos around Stamford Bridge, only increasing pressure on Pochettino.

Thiago Silva’s wife appeared to call for Pochettino to be sacked on social media following the result.

Chelsea are now in 11th place on the table and the hopes of returning to Europe next season are fading.

The Evening Standard reports Pochettino is now considering a formation switch to a three-man defence.

The Blues have typically lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for the whole of the season but could switch to a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 to help provide more balance in midfield and allow Ben Chilwell a greater attacking license at wing-back.

It could also help provide greater support in central defence, a position where Chelsea have a plethora of options.
