Cesc Fabregas is hoping his display against Leicester in the EFL cup will shut up his critics in the media.

The Chelsea of last season, two goals down, would never have been able to stir up the fire for a comeback.
As the famously meticulous Conte continues to search for a balance between attack and defence during the opening weeks of his Chelsea reign, Fabregas explained he is not the only midfielder to have come in for special attention at their Cobham training base.
The ESPN FC crew discuss the news that Chelsea goalkeeper Thibault Courtois wants to return to Spain someday.
Nathaniel Chalobah has insisted that loan spells away from Chelsea helped him a great deal after he finally made his first team debut for the club in a 4-2 win over Leicester City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
Conte offered some praise afterwards but stopped short of giving any hint that Fabregas might return to face his old club at The Emirates, even if the defeat at home to Liverpool prompts him to consider changes.
“I think we played quite well, to be honest”, Fabregas said. I know physically what I can give.
“So, in Leicester the handsome action was not my action to give him the shirt, the attractive action was from him, to be there supporting us like always!” I’m in a moment in my career where I feel very mature and know physically what I can give.
It promises be a huge night for fantasy football managers with six Premier League sides in action. It’s always been like that.
“It’s a new situation but you have to accept it, you have to be professional, to keep your attitude”.
Cesc Fabregas showed why he should be one of the automatic choices in the Chelsea lineup with a brilliant match-winning brace, while Lucas Perez opened his scoring for Arsenal in a comfortable win. To be physically strong.
Chelsea were poor defensively as both Cahill and David Luiz struggled, but the visitors deserved victory after Diego Costa was introduced as a second-half substitute.

The midfielder added: “We started the game sloppy, so sloppy”.
