Chelsea will be facing Middlesbrough on Monday night at Stamford Bridge, as the Blues are looking for their first win of the three needed to clinch the title in the remaining four games of the campaign. On the other side, Boro will be battling against relegation.
That means we’re heading into a tight clash with both having a lot to play for. Of course, Antonio Conte would prefer to pick his number one squad for the game, but it seems it’s going to be impossible to do that, as star players David Luiz and N’Golo Kante both seem to miss out due to injury issues.

Conte was interviewed by the press today in a pre-game press conference, and told the good injury update of Thibaut Courtois, and the bad ones from the behalf of David Luiz and N’Golo Kante.
“Thibaut – He trained today and yesterday and I don’t see any problem about him. In this week we are struggling with two situations about Luiz and N’Golo. I think there are three days before the game and I have the time to make the best decision.
“I have to check two situations and then to try to make the best decision for the Middlesbrough game and the other games.â€
