Malo Gusto

Gusto is out for Tuesday's meeting against Tottenham after suffering an undisclosed blow. Before the game, interim manager Calum McFarlane revealed "We had a big game on Saturday, and there are a few lads who are carrying some knocks".

Analysis: Gusto apparently got hurt during training prior to this game after making nine consecutive starts between league and cup action. The full-back's recovery timeline is unclear, but he shouldn't miss a long period if he's only dealing with a knock. His place in the starting lineup has been taken by Josh Acheampong, who will have a rare chance to show his ability.

Stellar in service

Gusto registered one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Monday's 3-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 14th minute.

Analysis: Gusto was unfortunate to not get an assist, thanks in large part to Chelsea's forwards failing in front of goal. The defender was fairly efficient at high volume, something which should pay off if he replicates these numbers against Liverpool. The former league champions have slipped this season, allowing 47 goals through 35 EPL games.
