It’s the battle of the last two Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge tomorrow lunchtime as Chelsea host Leicester City in West London.
Getting back to winning ways courtesy of a comfortable 0-2 victory at Hull City prior to the international break, Antonio Conte needs a string of positive results now to keep pace with the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham.
Having experimented and tweaked his formation on multiple occasions this term, the Italian made a 3-4-3 formation work at the KCOM Stadium last time out and that may prove the way forward for the Blues.
With Chelsea’s players needing time to adapt to this system having played a 4-2-3-1 for as long as we can remember, it’s no wonder that the players haven’t mastered it right away.
But with Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso having performed well in Conte’s new grand plan at Hull City, we’re expecting the same tactics to be rolled out against the Foxes tomorrow afternoon.
Having already beaten Claudio Ranieri’s champions 2-4 after extra-time in the EFL Cup already this term, Chelsea know they can get at the Foxes who have endured a far slower start to 2016/17.
With tomorrow’s game in mind, This Is Futbol have today devised what we believe will be Antonio Conte’s starting eleven for tomorrow’s Leicester City encounter.
