Conte should give these 3 Chelsea players a chance against Manchester City

Kurt Zouma

There are slight fitness concerns surrounding centre-back David Luis ahead of City’s visit to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

The Brazilian international has had an issue with his knee since their prior meeting with City back in December following Sergio Aguero’s awful tackle, and manager Antonio Conte admitted in his pre-match press conference that his knee is ‘better’, but ‘for sure he needs to have good treatment’.

This could mean that Luiz may not be fully fit to face Guardiola’s men on Wednesday, and if Conte doesn’t want to take the risk, he may call upon Kurt Zouma to deputise.

The 22-year-old has yet to make a Premier League start since returning from a long-term injury in January, although has completed the 90 minutes in three of Chelsea’s four FA Cup ties so far.

He’s working his way back to full fitness, and Wednesday may see him make a first league start since February 2016.
