Sunderland’s new Jack Clarke can take Fofana’s place in the XI

Football FanCast writer Dan Emery argues Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris should drop winger Malick Fofana and start Jocelin Ta Bi against Chelsea. Sunderland enters the Premier League clash winless in their last seven league matches, following a 2-0 Europa League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

Emery contends that Fofana has struggled after arriving for a club-record £31m fee, registering only one goal and no assists across 11 appearances. In contrast, the writer highlights 21-year-old Ta Bi as a potential Jack Clarke successor after his two-assist display against Brentford in the League Cup.
