Antonio Conte: ‘These are the players I will Pick against West Ham Tonight’

Oct 26, 2016

Conte said there will be changes for today’s trip to rivals West Ham and will give his fringe squad players a run.

The Blues could see Nathaniel Chalobah, who has been a regular benchwarmer for Conte come in tonight.

Youngster Ola Aina could also come into the side and captain John Terry is also set for a run-out.

Michy Batshuayi, who was said to be a target for West Ham United in the summer, may start in replace of Diego Costa up front.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Dominic Solanke could also be in the squad that travels to the London Stadium.

However, Kurt Zouma will not be in despite making a return in the Under-23s.

Cesc Fabregas (thigh) and Branislav Ivanovic (muscle issue) are also out.

Despite the line-up he pitched against United, Conte says he’s ready to tear up his team sheet against the Hammers.

Conte said: “It’s an important competition. We know this cup can permit you to see some young players that are working very well with us, to see the development of these players.

“We know this season we have only the FA Cup and this cup to see the other players. For this reason, we can see some changes.”
