“John Terry is working hard but he didn’t recover for the game against Arsenal”.

A Shinji Okazaki brace, after poor defending by the visitors, had put Leicester on track at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas denied ever wanting to leave Chelsea despite limited game time since Antonio Conte took over.

Despite a glittering career so far, the 29-year-old former World Cup victor has found himself in a fringe role at the Blues since Conte was brought in as the club’s new head coach.

“If you have to analyse me, maybe I’m a bit more the playmaker, creative going forward and he wants me to be a little bit more stable and compact in defence”. It is a new situation in my career after 13 years of basically playing everything for my club and national team. It’s important to play a good game, we know we face a good team.

Can Arsenal win the Premier League? I am seeing him very focused and concentrated during the training and he played a good game in the cup.

“For Zouma, I hope to see him in the training sessions next week. This is the right way and I want my players to create good competition and, game by game, give me the opportunity to choose the best lineup”.

Alexis Sanchez snapped on an error by Gary Cahill to loop the ball into the net in the 11th minute and Theo Walcott completed a brilliant move to steer in Hector Bellerin’s pass three minutes later.

“The second key was when Wasilewski was sent off”.

“For sure it’s a big game between two big rivals”.

The captain and central defender suffered an ankle injury in the recent 2-2 draw with Swansea but, despite optimism that he would, he has not recovered in time.

Ranieri rued the goal just before half-time as the decisive moment in his side’s loss. “We started very well and we were in control of the match”. We will wait one more week.
