Chelsea vs AS Roma Champions League encounter line-up revealed. Kante is likely to start.
Chelsea prepare to host Italian giants AS Roma in their Champions league encounter on Tuesday night. |
Chelsea can seal qualification for the Champions League knockout stages if they beat Roma and other results go their way on Tuesday night. The Group C rivals meet at the Stadio Olimpico to conclude the second half
of their double header, having previously shared the points in a thrilling 3-3 Stamford Bridge draw on October 18. Edin Dzeko and Eden Hazard scored two goals apiece in the six-goal spectacle, though both Eusebio Di
Francesco and Antonio Conte will be keen on defensive improvements in Rome.
Would Antonio Conte risk playing Ngolo Kante? |
Chelsea are currently on top of the group with
seven points from three games, and can qualify for the last-16 with two games to spare if Atletico Madrid fail to beat Qarabag in the Spanish capital on Halloween. Conte will be hoping that N’Golo Kante is back in contention from a hamstring injury, though the Chelsea
coach now has Danny Drinkwater back after a calf strain.
Roma starting XI: Alisson; Florenzi,
Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Nainggolan,
De Rossi, Strootman; Perotti, Dzeko,
Gerson
Chelsea starting XI: Courtois; Rudiger,
Luiz, Cahill; Azpilicueta, Kante,
Bakayoko, Fabregas, Alonso; Hazard;
Morata
