Liam Rosenior has won four of his five games as Chelsea manager, securing back-to-back league victories with a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace. Goals from Estevao Willian, Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez lifted the Blues to fourth place, a stark contrast to their form before his arrival.

Rosenior replaced Enzo Maresca four weeks ago, steadying a club that had won just one of its previous nine league matches. While the initial fixtures have been favourable, a clear vulnerability has emerged: all five goals conceded under his watch have come from set-pieces.

The manager is focused on consistency, with a crucial Champions League trip to Napoli next. He has praised his squad's engagement but remains aware that long-term success, including a top-four finish, is the true measure of his tenure at Stamford Bridge.
