An opportunity..

Not a bad time for Willian to come in, seems to have picked up a bit of form in the last couple of games when he's come on.

Good incentive for him to show that he deserves a start ahead of Pedro in future games as well.

Costa
Kante
Matic
Luiz

All walking the yellow card tightrope

It ain't the end of the world, I think this team needs to know it can cope with injuries to key players like Hazard and Costa.................fingers crossed.

Although the Sunderland players will get a lift not seeing his name on the team sheet.

If Costa gets suspended would Conte start Batshuayi? Can see us just going with a Pedro Hazard Willian front three.

May depend on the opposition.

Problem is that lack of playing time means we still dont really know what he is capable of.

Can I ask which part of this sentence......Hazard is out of tonight's squad with an injury........................ is proving challenging here?

Bro, no need to be a priiick -_-

Really keen to see more of Bats, that said Costa keeps doing the business and has been central to our recent success. Bats has reminded me of Eidur in some of his play, looks a good all round striker but not sure his finishing is quite as ruthless as yet.

I hope he gets his chance and takes it because I can't help think there's a chance he'll be a bit part player, never really shine and be moved on in two seasons.

cant tell really hes not played must be frustrating for the lad, nay have been bought with half an eye on costa based on last year and bing unsettled

Costa best striker in the world at the moment has to start

For sure, Costa has to play. I'd just like to see Bats given a chance if a game is wrapped up. 3 minutes doesn't give him much to work with.
