 Five at the Back

Antonio Conte switched to a five-man defence against Hull City and it worked a treat. The Blues looked dominant throughout, and in the end, they cruised to a relatively simple victory against the Tigers.

Given Chelsea’s misfortunes so far this season, it was essential that Conte changed something; and his decision to utilise three central defenders and two wing-backs was definitely a fruitful one.

However, the Italian must now be brave and continue with that formula against Leicester. Four man defences are, of course, tried and tested in the Premier League – but Conte must stick to his methods and continue with the formation that proved so successful last weekend.

Having two natural full backs was a refreshing change of pace – and one that could prove vital against Leicester.
