These 2 players simply must start for Chelsea against Middlesbrough – agreed?

Willian

Following a spell back in Brazil a few weeks ago, Willian has thus far been unable to regain his spot in the Chelsea first team.

It is, of course, understandable – as the Blues played well in his absence, but Conte must re-think his views.

Pedro has played well in recent weeks, but when Willian is on form – there is simply nobody better.

He needs to be given a starting berth this weekend so he can prove that he is back to his best. He was Chelsea’s talisman last year – and he can repeat that feat this season.
