Having joined Arsenal as a 16-year-old from Barcelona, Fabregas spent eight years in north London before re-joining Barca and then moving to Chelsea in 2014.

“I know we have had good results against Arsenal but we must know we face a good team in great shape – Conte admitted – They are a big rival but we must pay great attention, try to play good football and get a result”. “We can improve a lot”. Two at the back, three at the back, four at the back, I don’t care.

Langley, who was assessing the game on Chelsea TV with Frank Sinclair and Jason Cundy, does not feel Ozil qualifies as a world-class player and is overhyped.

“He’s a victor, he likes to win”, Hazard said of Conte in an interview with BT Sport. “I think we played a bad game against a tough team, very organised, very prepared in the tactical physical aspect”, Conte told BT Sport, as quoted by ESPN.

Conte wants his men to keep in mind their disastrous last season and not repeat the mistakes which led to their downfall.

Chelsea, who let in 53 league goals last season, have kept just one clean sheet in seven games this campaign. “We must improve together to improve the defensive situation”.

Chelsea hero Ruud Gullit is urging Antonio Conte to shake up his midfield for their trip to Arsenal.

The Spaniard will be hoping to start on Saturday when the Blues visit his former club Arsenal, but even if he doesn’t he feels it is only a matter of time before he re-establishes himself in the first XI.

“Sometimes I think it is important to value a manager not only if he wins, loses or draws”.

We knew how Liverpool would go about the game at the Bridge last week and Chelsea didn’t really seem to have an answer as Liverpool hassled and harried.

“I must find the right solution for this team because, in every game, we are conceding two goals minimum. If you want to have a great championship, sure, you can’t concede that many goals”.

“Conte? He’s a great coach with a special philosophy, we like him”.
