Conte should give these 3 Chelsea players a chance against Arsenal

Cesc Fabregas

N’Golo Kante was outstanding for the Blues in their draw against Liverpool on Tuesday, so is a shoe-in to start against the Gunners on Saturday.

However, the other central midfield position could be up for grabs, especially given Conte’s recent rotation between Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas in that role.

Matic did well in the centre against the Reds, but with Arsenal likely to have to field youngster Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the middle, Fabregas’ technical ability and greater forward presence could be invaluable on Saturday.

The Spanish international has started just five times in the league this season and, alongside nine other substitute appearances, has registered six assists, with his last start in the 4-2 win over Stoke seeing him grab two assists for the Blues.

Thus, he could get the nod against his former club on Saturday.
