Chelsea to dig deep into data detail in bid to boost home record next season

Chelsea will dig into heavy data detail in a bid to boost their home record next season.

The Blues sit seventh in the table of home Premier League matches, with their eight wins from 18 outings at Stamford Bridge largely accounting for the shortfall on Liverpool and Manchester City.

Incoming Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is a keen student of the impact of data on sport and the new Blues regime will want to maximise the influence of analytics next season.

Chelsea will be ready to jump straight into recruitment once the club’s sale is complete and temporary licence restrictions are lifted.

But tactical and analytical influences will be mined too, in order to transform that 44 per cent home league winning record.

“Of course I think we can do better (at home), I think it is not a lot; it is margins,” said boss Thomas Tuchel.

“We will look into the season. It is not the moment when I have analysed everything. I don’t have the answer because we would have changed it before.

“We struggle with efficiency, with goal-scoring records, with consistency, with determination, with precision in the box against teams who defend deep.
