Chelsea defeated West Brom yesterday to register their 9th consecutive win in the Barclays Premier League. The Blues retain their top spot and remain three points ahead of Arsenal.
Antonio Conte’s men found it hard to break the Baggies at Stamford Birdge yesterday. Tony Pulis’ men formed a solid defense and only a late mistake by veteran defender Gareth McAuley gifted Diego Costa the chance to earn all three points.
Next up, the Blues will face Sunderland away from home on Wednesday night and Conte must make an important change in his starting XI to win 10 PL games on the trot.
Not so long ago, Sunderland parked the bus at Anfield and stopped the Merseysiders for a long period before Origi opened the scoring. Expect the Black Cats to park the bus vs Chelsea as well.
Conte must not play two defensive midfielders in the form of Kante and Matic. Instead, a creative star like Fabregas must get the nod to start vs Sunderland. You need something unpredictable to open up a parked defense and the former Arsenal star can provide that.
Here is how Conte must line up his Chelsea side against Sunderland.
