Surprised Willian Isn't starting. We have a very strong bench. Hazard, Willian, Zappacosta, Drinkwater and Christensen would walk into most Premier league starting 11s.

Willian came back quite late from international duty and from Brazil no less despite playing both games for 90min. We don't want to break him just yet, plenty of football this month to play anyway.

Looks like 3 in midfield is something we will see more of this season and to be honest I like it, mind you that could only be temporary until hazard back, I think it plays to our strengths though.

At the very least I'd like to see it in big games, it's a great alternative born out of necessity, of course against smaller teams you would want the extra forward not the extra man in midfield, but for big games it needs to stay.

 Especially if cesc can switch between attacker and playmaker roles as need dicatases through the game, he is a perfect player for the 3rd midfielder.

Here's a question......if we are playing a 3-5-2 with Fabregas in the midfield 3........

Does he play in attacking midfield (in the hole behind the strikers) or as a deep lying playmaker (like Pirlo in Conte's Juventus 3-5-2)?

One of my biggest questions for today! I guess we'll see. He might switch

I think he's free to roam to impact the game wherever possible

Not weird at all.

No Willian, no Haz and Rudiger instead of Andreas.

Willian has been playing in Brazil, so it's only natural that he doesn't start. Hazard isn't 100% fit, playing 1 game for Belgium doesn't change that. Rudiger or Christensen, either one will do really, but Rudiger is more experienced and will likely start more games than Christensen unless his form dips.

Willian came back late after playing 2 games for Brazil.

Hazard just came back from injury.

I think it's safe to say that Conte decided Christensen plays at RCB or CB only.

We will have to wait and see. I'm sure Conte has drilled into the players what he wants.

Cesc playing as a 2 behind morata maybe?

Will change shape I suspect 3-5-2 when defending, might look like a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2 through the game, the shape won't be strict with cesc being the main player switching roIes, I would guess anyway...
