Predicted lineup: Antonio Conte to tweak formation once again for midweek clash

Chelsea face Huddersfield tomorrow knowing that all they can do is win and hope that Liverpool or Spurs mess up against easy opposition.

In goal Thibaut Courtois will continue, with the back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Gary Cahill looking very settled at the moment.

Out wide Emerson Palmieri will come back in to alternate with Marcos Alonso, but Victor Moses will get the chance to build on his good form down the right.

Against a more defensive team than Liverpool, Conte will return to a 343, meaning Cesc Fabregas drops out to leave Tiemoue Bakayoko and N’Golo Kante in the middle, with Willian coming in to play in a three with Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud leading the line.

Conte would probably like the chance to play Alvaro Morata, but the forward’s injury from the weekend looks likely to rule him out of this game at the very least.
