Conte should give these 3 Chelsea players a chance against Hull

Cesc Fabregas

Conte has been giving Cesc Fabregas more playing time in the last few weeks, and the Spanish international could be in line to start against Hull on Sunday.

The 29-year-old has scored one and assisted four others in his last four Premier League starts for the Blues, although his most recent run out from the first whistle came on New Year’s Eve against Stoke.

However, it’s arguable that Chelsea won’t need both N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic marshalling the midfield at home to Hull, so Conte may be tempted to bring Fabregas in for his greater creative flair and spark, given that the Tigers will likely set up difficult to break down at Stamford Bridge.

Thus, the Blues may need Fabregas’ attacking instincts and intelligence to get past Marco Silva’s side on Sunday.
