I can see Conte going back to the 3-5-2 used against Spurs. I thought it worked very well in nullifying a team like that who have a lot of the ball. I think he will go -
--------------------Courtois-----------
----------Azpi----Luiz-----Rudiger---
Moses---Kante---Cesc---Baka---Alonso
-------------------Pedro------------------
-----------------------Morata-------------
Leaving a very strong bench of -
Caballero
Christiansen
Cahill
Drinkwater (if fit)
Hazard
Willian
Batshuayi
Team for Arsenal...

I agree Fabregas and Luiz are interchangeable as CMs. I would be amazed if we noticed any difference from the Spurs game if Fabregas is playing as the sitting deepest midfielder instead of Luiz.

Is that sarcasm?

Willian has to start, our best player at the moment.

6-0 Chelsea
Will be easier than Qarabag

There is no way Rudiger will start, he looks so poor already...
If Cahill is back which I think he is then it'll be the usual back 3 with wing backs

Zappacosta will be in the matchday squad over Drinkwater.

I hope Cahill s back on the bench, no disrespect but he is our weak link,

But Cahill is not our weakest link and I think we should also start with Willian and keep Hazard on the bench.

Do we need to play 3 5 2 to beat Arsenal?
posted on 14/9/17
Nope.
Lineup could be excatly the same side that played at Leicester, which was:
Courtois
Azpi Luiz Rudiger
Moses Kante Bakayoko Alonso
Pedro Morata Fabregas
Maybe Hazard for Fabregas.
