I really hope he starts today, I love Willian but he's been a little off the boil recently and Moses is very direct which is great for the way conte wants to counter-attack, Especially in a big away game like today.
My team for today would be:
______Courtois
__Azpi Cahill Luiz Alonso
________Kante
Moses Matic Cesc Hazard
________Costa
Azpi and Alonso gave us good balance against Leicester and it looked like for once Azpi offered an attacking threat (his goal aside).
Kante and Matic is enough protection or the back 4 so Cesc should be a Guarenteed starter.
Moses for Willian for reasons I stated above, Hazard is a given and the form Diego is on he's one of the first names on the team sheet.
Moses

I'd like to see Moses and Alonso start for us in the PL as well but I don't think it will happen this weekend after they both played 120 minutes midweek.
Fabregas has a good chance of getting a start today though

how bad has willian been? every time I've watched Chelsea for the last few years I've never seen a bad game from him

Willian has not been playing well this season or at
least has been inconsistent. Moses look fresher and sharpish, also he is very direct. Offers smth different to Willian. Just a warning to Willian that he has to up his game if he wants to start games.
I would be tempted to play Chalobah alongside Kante, he quicker and has a good passing range, and a bit more creative than Magic who is slow as a slag at the moment.

Yes hopefully as Conte gets more faith in Chalobah as a player we'll see this happen. Chalobah will need more sub appearances in the PL before we can hope to see him start though.

I think the only difference we'll see to the starting lineup is Fabregas starting. Maybe ahead of Oscar but wouldn't be surprised if it's ahead of Matic.

Chalobah-Kante pivot would excite me for sure, Is Chalobah ready for his first start away to Arsenal? Who knows! Xavi and Iniesta had to be risked at some point too.

Oscar shouldn't be in the team imo

I agree Oscar and Matic should be out the time but we don't have the quality to replace them as it stands.

I wouldn't say Willian has been poor, rather not up to his usual standard but certainly better than other members of the team!
