TERRY AND MOURINHO
JOHN TERRY faces a fight to regain a regular starting place
in Antonio Conte’s Chelsea’s back-three.
The Blues skipper will start tonight at West Ham in the EFL
Cup after returning from injury. But boss Conte is reluctant to change a
backline that has won three in a row and kept three clean sheets.

his place in Premier League games is in doubt
Asked if Terry could come back in the middle of the
back-three, Conte said: “The last three games we did very well.
“It’s normal when you play with the same players in the same
roles — they take confidence.”
And Conte hinted Terry is no longer an automatic choice and
will only play tonight because he wants to rest key men.
The Chelsea chief said: “It’s important in these games, for
example the cup, to find new solutions.
Pedro admits he had transfer talks with
Barcelona over summer but insists he's now happy at Chelsea
“Because if you have an injury during the season it’s
important to have a good solution ready.
“For this reason we find a different solution. I want to see
the players give me the good answer.”
Currently David Luiz sits in the middle of Conte’s
back-three. It is the only position Terry could hold as a regular starter,
given that the Italian wants fast players either side of his defensive anchor.
