Our Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern are hoping that Antonio Conte has got some answers in today match against Swansea City, as they want the poor form to stop in the league amid the faint hopes for a spot in the Champions League places.

Chelsea, this calendar year have been poor, since January they have slid out of the top-four, out of the Carabao Cup and raised some questions among the regulars as to if Conte if the still the right man for the job. While the Italian’s future hangs in the balance, the team are doing nothing to help matters, making it a whole mess right now.

Following two back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time in 2018, surely today Conte will aim to keep the fire in the Chelsea players’ belly with another win. Conte needs a big performance from his players today and, a sprinkle of rotation can only help matters with them looking to pounce on any Spurs slip up.

With that in mind, our landlord takes a look at one of the TWO players should come into the side at Willian’s expense…

Pedro

The Spaniard is essential in making Chelsea tick when he’s at his best. His eye for a pass and general coolness on the pitch is what the Blues need right now in a time of trouble. Fabregas has been here before and knows that, as he is one of the more experienced players in the squad, its part of his job to get this team going again.

Being his creative and acute self should give Chelsea a different edge against a tough Swansea side, who will be licking their wounds from last week’s 5-0 defeat to Champions Man City.

Alvaro Morata

Alvaro Morata will want to continue finding the goals after last week. Indeed, a return to the starting eleven may be the kick start he needs to end his season with a bang and fire the Blues into the top-four.

Morata will have a point to prove and will not be wanting to give up his starting spot to the newly acquired Frenchman so easily.

A big game performance and a goal would be the perfect message to send to Conte for the second week running.
