Conte simply must not start these 2 Chelsea players against Leicester City on Saturday
Nemanja Matic
Nemanja Matic was decent against Tottenham, and so he shouldn’t be dropped based on that – but rather, he should be dropped because he isn’t needed against the Foxes.
With Riyad Mahrez away on AFCON duty, Leicester City’s offensive threat is severely reduced – and so there is no real need for 2 defensively minded central midfielders.
Cesc Fabregas has looked good in recent weeks when given a chance, and with Ranieri likely to defend against the Blues – his passes could be vital.
Matic will likely come in towards the end of the game in an effort to keep the Blues ahead, should they be leading.
