The games keep on coming for Antonio Conte and Chelsea…
Last weekend’s clash against Tottenham will live long in the memory of Chelsea fans, given that it was a game of such important against a side that has built quite the rivalry with Chelsea over the last few years.
An impressive Victor Moses goal in the second-half sealed the points for Antonio Conte’s men – but the Italian will have no time to rest on his laurels.
Up next is a tough trip to the Etihad, where Conte faces his stiffest test yet – a game against Premier League favourites Man City.
The Guardiola-led side have done well this year, and some are already touting this game as a title decider.
With so much riding on the game, it is absolutely essential that Antonio Conte picks the right team on Saturday – and we’re expecting a change or 2.
With that said, if Conte picks this 3-4-3 Chelsea XI then they will surely destroy Man City
Thibaut Courtois has been in a rich vein of form over the last few weeks – and he appears to be finally living up to the hype.
He will need to be on form.
What a revelation David Luiz has been!
He is the most important man in this defence, and Conte will be hoping that his regular mistakes don’t rear their ugly head.
Chelsea’s captain in the absence of John Terry.
A good performance will be needed.
Cesar Azpilicueta is the most consistent man in the Chelsea first team.
There is nothing to worry about when he’s in the side.
Marcos Alonso has looked good so far, but he will need to be on form to deal with Man City’s rampaging attack.
Can he handle it? We think he can…
This will be N’Golo Kante’s toughest test yet.
He will need to be all over Sergio Aguero in order to stop the deadly forward.
We called for Matic to be dropped last week, and he proved us wrong.
A strong performance against Tottenham proved his position in the side was justified – and a repeat performance will be needed.
How good was Victor Moses last week?
He scored the winner and is sure to start this week.
Eden Hazard is a man bang in form – but he needs to start turning up in the big games.
The clash against Man City is a perfect time to start.
Diego Costa was unbelievable last week.
His display deserved a goal, but his hold up and transitional play were essential.
A repeat performance please, Diego.
Pedro doesn’t deserve to be dropped, but the offensive threat of Man City means that Willian could return.
He is a hard worker, and Man City are seriously good going forward. Pedro isn’t as defensively minded as the Brazilian – so this one makes a lot of sense.
