“It’s a nice problem when you have two strikers who continue to score. Unfortunately, Marc Guiu is not scoring at this moment but hopefully soon he can score goals as well.”
He added: “When you can decide which one to start with, it’s nice. And because they are in a good moment we can use them both.”
Chelsea return to action after October’s international break with a trip Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, October 20.
