Hope Conte follows up with the same setup from our last match and help thrive. Replace Cahill with JT then we are all set. Zouma should be close to return. Need to monitor him as well. Leicester haven't travelled very well in their league matches. We need to ensure their agony on the road continues. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37594219 Up the Chelsea!
Looks like a bumpy game for @FosseFilberto hope they don't hold it against us. I'm going for 3-1 Chelsea.
That is exactly how Merson has it and he has been on the button this season with his predictions. Hoping for a win myself (as usual) and do not mind how it comes. If we push up we may be in difficulty so I see a defensive outlook and try and pinch this one no matter how. They are low on confidence away from home and I would not want to give them hope, stifle them with possession, hold the ball, bore the ****e out of the fans but win the game, move on and do the same next week. When the haters start calling us boring we are doing alright. On the other hand I feel Conte will see this as a win win situation and play a higher line, press the ball give them no time, and score early, hope they retreat as they normally do but in Luis we have pace and this is what Liecester thrive on if we counter that then we are on your way to winning the game. Forza Azzurre'.
Hope this Mail article is a fail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...onte-hints-using-three-against-Leicester.html JT or back 3 really?? That will set the cat amongst the pigeons. Swap Cahill for JT - that is not rocket science. Hope Conte agrees. Need Moses back from injury to carry on that 352 strongly. Losing Moses & Willian in this new formation will be a setback. Pedro is underwhelming. Will RLC get a chance over Oscar or Pedro if Moses is injured?
Rumours swirling about Conte being the next manager for the sack. Bookies have stopped taking anymore bets. back to the game - JT on bench. I would be happy to sit a 35 year old, but if it means Cahill is playing I will be disturbed. Perhaps he feels JT doesn't have the pace for 352 / 343? Anyway Gutsy call from Conte. Only change from last game, Pedro for Willian. Pedro needs to make this count. Mahrez & Slimani on the bench too. Is Ranieri throwing this away or he expects his speed merchants Ah Musa, Vardy & Schlupp to trouble our unsettled Defenders?? update: Claudio pre-match observes 343 will be challenging for our players to master. Feels his speed merchants can dent. We shall see. Could be another litmus test - this one.
did you see Cahill's position when Luiz had the ball now. Luiz was livid for Cahill to come back for whole 10 seconds. Cahill holds his position up the field.
all for Willian !! up the Chelsea. nice assist from Pedro. Now - hope first sub is Costa to protect him from suspension for the big one next weekend.
Fab is hardly missed. Luiz, Alonso, Matic, Kante everyone doing signature ping balls through the eye of the needle.
nervous few mins tbh. Kante needs to work on his finishing. Can easily back some goals. Good to see Nathaniel for Pedro. Nice and Early.
