August 28, 20178 yr Rudiger has been impressive in our last two games. Unlike most people here, am a big fan of Cahill! But I can't Conte bringing Cahill into the starting lineup automatically because he is captain. One of the things that impress me about Rudiger is he has pace. So I think that's the perfect LCB that Alonso needs behind him to flourish. Though if Cahill comes in automatically, I won't have a problem with it because I like him. But it might send the wrong message to the players fighting hard in training to be in the starting lineup.

August 28, 20178 yr 3 match ban. http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/discipline/suspensionsThanks
August 28, 20178 yr Must admit, I thought Gary Cahill was back for this game too. Thought it was a two match ban not a three.
August 28, 20178 yr Most important thing is having back our players fit and in good form to continue our wave. I think it was a good decision to send Hazard with Belguim, he will play games and will come back faster, maybe we will have him available for that game.
August 28, 20178 yr Could we have 4 ex foxes players in our line up to go there? Seems pretty unlikely but given the slight links we have to two of them, and a strong link to the other, could we well line up with: Tibo Azpi Luiz Rudiger Moses Drinkwater Kante Alonso Hazard Vardy Mahrez Lol
August 29, 20178 yr Expect a tough match at the foxes, will be intriguing to see what midfield Conte chooses to go with.
August 29, 20178 yr Can see Conte adopting 352 for the tougher games with Kante Bakayoko Fabregas in the cage...

August 29, 20178 yr Seeing how good Morata is in the air makes me think we should move Azpi to RWB as he has a decent cross and bring in Christensen at CB.

August 30, 20178 yr Keep Cahill as far away from the starting line up as possible please. Wouldn't care if we sold him.
August 30, 20178 yr The lineup vs Leicester... Schmeicheal Simpson Morgan McGuire .... .... Etc Kante Drinkwater Mahrez Vardy
August 30, 20178 yr 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.

The man who captained our side to the PL title last season, the man who has been a mainstay of our squad for 5 years and has won everything with us? Yeah ok. If we pilfer Drinkdoombar or whatever his name is, he can sit on our bench, watch Bakayoko/Fabregas play in front of him and realise he made a big mistake coming to us.
