GAME OF THROW-INS

Maresca's not a fan but could go long

- BY BOBBY VINCENT

CHELSEA may revert to long throws in future as they prepare to take on Sunderland, who have the second most launches in the box this term.

Only Brentford have thrown the ball inside the 18-yard box more in the Premier League than the Black Cats, who travel to Stamford Bridge today.

The Blues conceded a late goal at Brentford last month via a long throw-in and head coach Enzo Maresca has been showing his players the clip of that goal to remind them how not to deal with the danger.

Today they will have to deal with the threat of Nordi Mukiele’s long throws, as the Blues look to make it five victories on the bounce in all competitions.
