da bwin： Make no mistake, Antonio Conte dropped David Luiz for Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Manchester United to make a point to the rest of the team. The Brazilian was a key player last season but reacted poorly when being subbed off against Roma in the Champions League and lacked commitment in the reverse fixture a fortnight later, which the Blues lost 3-0.
da spicy bet： Luiz – who Transfermarkt value at £27million – unexpectedly found himself benched for Chelsea’s next fixture, sending a message that no player in Conte’s squad is untouchable, and the decision had the desired effect. The west Londoners have been riding a wave of strong form since facing the Red Devils.
Likewise, 14-cap Dane Andreas Christensen has thoroughly excelled in Luiz’s absence. But with the Blues travelling to Anfield this weekend, where Liverpool have dropped just four points so far this season, the 30-year-old’s defensive experience could prove vital.
So Chelsea fans, which player would you start at the heart of defence on Saturday? Let us know by voting below…
