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

Cesc Fabregas

It didn’t look like Cesc Fabregas had much of a future at Chelsea back in November, when he hadn’t started a Premier League game since the end of September.

However, an excellent display in the Blues’ 3-1 victory at Manchester City on December 3 appears to have given him a lifeline, as he has since then started six times in the league, scoring twice and laying on four assists in those games.

And when you factor in that he has started their last two league matches against Swansea and West Ham, and that he didn’t start against Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday, he looks set to regain his place in the centre of midfield against Stoke on Saturday.
