This weekend, Chelsea play host to an FA Cup clash against Peterborough…

With life in the Premier League proving to be hectic and non-stop, Antonio Conte will undoubtedly be looking forward to a game against a less competitive

Of course, Conte must not be complacent and expect to win the game easily – but there is no doubting that Chelsea will be heavy favourites going into the game.

For this reason, the Italian could look to rotate his squad, and if he does decide to do that – he should definitely look towards the youth talent available to him at Chelsea.

The Blues have an incredible academy, and with the Premier League campaign going so well, it appears unlikely that they will be given a regular chance in the league over the next few weeks – and so the Cup may well be the only action they get all season.

There are a number of young talents available, and Conte might want to look at THESE 2 as potential starters…

 Ola Aina

Victor Moses has played consistently this season, and the Nigerian has earned a bit of a break.

Conte isn’t blessed with senior choices in that position, especially with Azpilicueta converted into a right-back – and so we could see the rise of young Ola Aina into the Chelsea first team.

The young, speedy right-back is used to playing on either flank, and whilst he is raw and inexperienced – he looked fantastic during pre-season.

Conte fancied the defender when he first joined, so you would imagine that Aina might well get his chance.

 Nathaniel Chalobah

Nathaniel Chalobah has been on the cusp of the Chelsea first team all season, and you would imagine that Conte will give him the chance in the Cup.

A solid defensive midfielder, Chalobah has built quite the pedigree in recent years with a number of successful loan spells – and he is more than ready to play for Chelsea.

Like with Moses, Kante has played nearly every game this year – and he deserves a rest. Give Chalobah a chance in his place.
