Midfield
N’Golo Kanté is a quintessential player for Chelsea in the middle of the park with his all-round display especially with the defensive solidity and industry he comes with. The Frenchman will keep his place in the middle of the park. Cesc Fabregas has been decisive of late after getting his chance due to an injury to Matic.
The Spaniard scored the winner against Sunderland with a nicely taken side-foot shot and should keep his place in midfield ahead of Nemanja Matic. Victor Moses and Marcus Alonso will start on the two wing-back positions.
Attack
In-form Diego Costa will lead the line for the Blues. Eden Hazard might miss the game and even if he is cleared for the, Conte might not risk starting him. In Hazard’s absence, Willian will start on the right flank and Pedro on the left.
