Premier League champions Chelsea are currently flying high impressively despite some challenges in Antonio Conte’s team.
The blues are set to play AS Roma in Italy for their next Champions League group stage game, and they will be going into the game with full confidence following their ability to win all of their last three games in all competitions.
Two weeks back, Chelsea hosted the Serie A club at Stamford Bridge but could only earn a point from the game.
Nevertheless, the West London club are still on top of their Champions League group with 7 points, while the Giallorossi are following behind with 5 points.
And as far as the team news is concerned, Antonio Conte suggest Frenchman N’Golo Kante could return from his injury to play Roma, and the midfielder can start on the bench.
Both Bakayoko and Cesc Fabregas are expected to retain their starting places and take care of the midfield.
Brazilian star player Willian is also expected to replace Pedro Rodriguez in the starting XI and partner with superstar Eden Hazard to support lone striker Alvaro Morata upfront.
With Cahill in-between the sticks, here is the most likely line up Conte will field against AS Roma:
GK – Courtois
DC – Cahill
DC – Luiz
DC – Azpilicueta
ML – Alonso
MC – Cesc
MC – Bakayoko
MR – Zappacosta
AC – Hazard
AC – Willian
FC – Morata
