Starts again at right-back

Acheampong had three tackles (two won) and two clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

Analysis: Acheampong would once again receive the start at right-back, filling in for Malo Gusto as he covers for an injured Marc Cucurella (hamstring) at left-back. Acheampong is likely to return to the bench once Cucurella returns, only starting in six games this season between center-back and right-back, mainly a rotational option.

Starts again, scores

Acheampong scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.

Analysis: Acheampong recorded his first goal of the season during the 3-0 win Saturday. This was also his fourth appearance on the season, starting three times as he continues to prove to a useful option to fill in the lineup for Chelsea.
