Graham Potter's decision to not hand Christian Pulisic a place in the starting line-up for tonight's game against Manchester United has left question marks over what the American has to do to warrant a start.
Pulisic came off the bench on Wednesday evening against Brentford and showed glimpses of quality as the Blues struggled to break the home side down. The 24-year-old has only made two starts in the Premier League this season following Potter's 3-4-3 system.
After failing to find the back of the net in mid-week, there were calls for Potter to select Pulisic off from the start at Stamford Bridge for the visit of Manchester United. However, Raheem Sterling has been opted for the third straight game - despite not scoring since the end of August.

Potter made four changes to his side, restoring Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sterling to the side in place of Kalidou Koulibaly, Conor Gallagher, Kai Havertz and Armando Broja.
Despite the influx of attackers into the side, supporters have been discussing Pulisic exclusion. Here's what they have said on social media...
@CFC_JJ_: Feel so sorry for Pulisic
@home_cfc: Wanted to see Pulisic start today
@theballandfoot: I feel like Pulisic should be starting today… probably over Sterling but for sure over dave at RWB… I know he would be out of position but still will provide a better attacking presence then Dave #Chelsea
@CFCKevi: Pulisic has to start
@CfcHaykay: I think Pulisic deserves to start, let's hope for the best off the bench
@CfcAsake: Pulisic should start ahead of Sterling, it's clear of day
@fernandotee19: After his brilliant cameo on Wednesday Pulisic should have started this game, he's been good in the last couple of games and deserves to start today ahead of RS.
@DoomerCFC: I don't know why Pulisic doesn't start
@CFC_Lucy: Sterling HAS to turn up today. No good reason for him to be starting over Pulisic at this point.
@CFCZach: Pulisic had a good cameo performance against Brentford just to sit back on the bench again. Honestly not sure what else he can do at this point…
