Leicester Vs Chelsea (PL) Sat 09 Sep 2017 KO 15:00 GMT

He'll be on the bench, but I'd imagine he will probably come on at some point. Unless we're chasing the game.

 
So, we have our squad ready, only Cahill is missing. 

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

-------------- Courtois ------------

-- Azpilicueta - Luiz - Rudiger --

Moses - Kante - Fabregas - Alonso

------- Willian ---- Pedro -------

------------- Morata ---------

Fabregas and Morata worked well together, we have to continue that. Hazard is back, but I'd rather put him on in the last 30 minutes. Same as Bakayoko and sweet welcome to Drinkwater or Zappacosta.

I believe we have to win this game, a draw is not really good for us. By this game we would see how far we can go this season, I expect to watch a good and strong performance by us. COME ON CHELS!!!

 
Interesting to see the team selection.

I would go with​

Tibo​

Azpi Andreas DL​

Moses Baka Kante Alonso​

Willian Morata Hazard​

Please don't play Drinkwater, I'm not ready to see him and Kante playing in the middle against us. It'll break by little heart.

I don't think he will start but he'll probably have a cameo or something. Conte doesn't really like playing newly bought players on the next available game. He usually waits until they've integrated with the squad a bit in training.

Imo Luiz wouldnt be suited to the left side, he needs to be in the center so he can have the space to pass the ball out, Andreas i see more on the left in the JT position covering Alonso. Switch them around and that would be my team too.

I thought our defence was great in the last 2 games without Cahill, he will/should sit out should be keep winning. Rudiger has the pace, ball skill and passing game Cahill doesn't possess. I hope Hazard plays a cameo, don't think Conte will risk him, we have been there and it was awful.

Watching Rudiger I have high hopes he will be a solid defender but his distribution looks like it needs a lot work. I make no apology for saying Cahill is my type of "defend first" defender and I still think he is woefully underrated and has a big role to play for us.

Completely agree about Rudiger's distribution but that's something that can be improved...I think the left side of the back three is the berth that's up for grabs...it should be a some fight between Christensen, Rudiger and Cahill...

It's a shame he can't get shown a straight red every 3 games.

This sort of bile that we see from so called "fans" on social media towards Gary Cahill honestly repulses me. Cahill is without doubt not the best defender we've ever had and he makes errors, but his positive aspects by far outweigh his negatives. After his error against Arsenal last year, how many notable mistakes did he make on the way to his second premier league title in a side with a fantastic defensive record? Not very many by my count. Show some respect to a truly lovely man who bleeds blue and is a great English captain. 

 
I watched hazard's matches against gibraltar and greece. He didnt seem to be 100% fit. I doubt conte will start him.

I wouldn't expect him to be match fit yet.  If anything the two internationals he's been involved him would have helped him be fitter for us.  I heard a good point on the radio they other day "These two game against Gibraltar and Greece are affectively friendly type games (in means of the quality), so Chelsea should be happy that he is getting game time" I think he'll pay some part in the Leicester game but won't start.
