I think there's two options depending on Conte's midfield choices: I also don't even know if Luiz or Bakayoko will be ready. Alonso was rested yesterday so I'm sure he'll start. 3-4-3: Courtois Azpi - Christensen - Cahill Zappacosta - Kante - Cesc - Alonso Willian - Morata - Hazard 3-5-2 Courtois Azpi - Christensen - Cahill Zappacosta - Kante - Cesc - Drinkwater - Alonso Morata - Hazard Maybe Conte will feel comfortable going a 3-4-3 with Kante and Drinkwater in the middle as opposed to Cesc. I guess we'll see...very excited.

Dreadful defending in the opening 30 minutes - everything after was solid. Moses looked exceptional tonight, looked very threatening on the right win. Alonso looked good on his debut in my opinion, Azpi looked much better on the right. What a goal! Matic...meh. Fabregas amazing. Chalobah was great, needs to play more. Costa always threatening. Batshuayi worked hard but just couldn't find any end product. Loftus-Cheek, feel sorry for the guy. Played out of position but tried. Begovic...meh. Pedro meh. All in all, great comeback, great win and great momentum heading into the Arsenal match.

Awesome line-up. Alonso on the left, Azpi back on his native right. Loftus-Cheek getting starting playing time. Same for Batshuayi. I hope Chalobah and Aina get to see the pitch today as well. Great stuff. Lets go Blues!

I think this would be the perfect time for Conte to experiment with his 3-4-3. He said he doesn't think a 3-5-2 will work with this current Chelsea. But whatever the formation, I just want to see Aina, Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek get their chance. Begovic Cahill - Luiz - Alonso Aina - Chalobah - Loftus Cheek - Azpi Moses - Batshuayi - Pedro I doubt that will all happen, probably too many changes but it gives more than half the squad some rest. But something like that. Or the 4-1-4-1 will be used again but hopefully some youth get a chance as well. A win here would be a much needed boost.

Lol @ anyone trying to criticize Conte for Plan A, B, C, D, .... Chelsea are 3-1-1. Give him a break, that's his first 5 matches ever in the PL with a squad that's coming off a 10th place finish last season and he's still above United & Liverpool at the moment. Give him a chance.

Slept on this loss and it still sucks but lets hope for the best and hope that the boys learn from their mistakes, errors and failures. There's still 33 games left to play, anything can happen still.

Sucks to lose at the Bridge, but hey it happens. Chelsea are still 3-1-1 so far this season and it's all about progress and improvement at this point. Chelsea finished 10th last year, that's not easy to swallow. Conte needs to get these guys confident, clicking, and executing and a Champions League spot should be priority for this team and build from there. I think Conte should maybe start considering utilizing that 3-4-3 he talked about earlier. Chelsea need help in the back. Defence wins championships. Thoughts on: Courtois Azpi/Ivan - Luiz - Cahill Willian - Kante - Matic - Alonso Oscar - Costa - Hazard That's a super defensive line-up I know, maybe throw on Fabregas when needing to open defences, but it should help with the goal leakage.

Luiz in, Terry out. Aina makes the bench!

Haha, that's awesome. I've been seeing some pretty salty Liverpool fans online...probably pissed because Chelsea has replaced them in the last decade or so. 3 points!

Seems like Conte will use a 4-1-4-1, with Luiz in place of Terry, other than that it's unchanged. Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Azpi; Kante; Willian, Oscar, Matic, Hazard; Costa I think it's the smart move, this is a winning team and the boys are playing well. Have to beat Liverpool at the Bridge...it would be fantastic!

I think he's in a bad spell right now but he'll get over it. We have to remember that he's only 24. The talent is there, we all know it. Goalkeepers usually fully blossom in their late 20's. Let's be honest, yes Courtois caused the penalty kick but he was forced too as well. He had no help back there. It's not completely his fault.

Damn Tammy. 8 of his last shots = 7 goals.

Roman should drop whatever cash necessary for Griezmann. Stunner. But the transfer ban for AM restricts this all, no? Or just their purchases? Still, I can't see them accepting any offer if they can't properly replace him.

That's being a TV manager. Oscar and Matic have been great since the start of the season, there's no reason why they shouldn't have started the match. We can't say that because Oscar & Matic started that's why Chelsea drew with Swansea and didn't win convincingly. Chelsea would have won convincingly if Courtois didn't cause the PK, and if Cahill wasn't fouled for the second goal and if Costa killed the game off in the first half with that missed sitter. Matic & Oscar caused that all? I don't think so.

Definitely have to keep a closer eye on Gibson & Keane. I truly believe Chelsea need some more English representation. Hopefully a new young CB, and some breakthroughs for Aina and RLC this season. (If they even make the bench...)
