Chelsea will be traveling to Turf Moor tomorrow afternoon in hope of growing their position on top of the league with yet another victory.
Antonio Conte is aware of the Clarets’ formidable form at their home ground this term, and could be making a few game-killing substitutions to avoid the Blues from the same outcome as Liverpool for example.
Willian and Cesc Fabregas could be placed into the starting line-up to lead the Blues into quicker counter-attacks and sharper attacks.
Here’s how we expect Antonio Conte to line up his side tomorrow…
Thibaut Courtois is likely to start between the sticks again with the same back-three above him in David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta. Luiz has gone through some knee problems for some time now, but Conte insisted that he wants to play despite the pain and is a real ‘warrior’ of the team.
Cesc Fabregas is tipped to start alongside N’Golo Kante in the pivot, with Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses naturally wide in the wing-back positions. Nemanja Matic could start though, as he’s seen as the more safe and secure option over Fabregas, who then usually comes off from the bench to work his magic.
Eden Hazard will resume on the left after a sublime performance against Arsenal last weekend, and Diego Costa is most certainly the striker upfront. Willian might be the better option against Burnley tomorrow with Pedro then to be benched.
Who would you start for Chelsea tomorrow?
