Try some new players in starting eleven and rest everyone for second half. I would start with something like this:

Willy

Azpi - Christensen - Rudiger - Emerson

Drinkwater - Jorginho - RLC

Willian - Abraham - Hudson Odoi

[dreamcfc 177]

I think he should carry on with his strongest 11, or what he believes in - they need time on the pitch to try and get this right.

[The Power 147]

I hope Bulka gets a bit of playing time... or maybe we get to see Rob Green

[ZanSnake 1,211]

A game that is quite uneeded but at least it is at home rather than abroad. Would like to see some changes, maybe a few different options for midfield, though I don't think that would happen with season starting so close...

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Have to agree with Sarri.  This match is needless.  We'd be better off with more time on the training pitch.  Right now, that's the most important thing for this squad.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Bit odd! Especially as we played on Sunday that should be been it. Oh well.... Guess money as well. 

[Starman60 1,343]

Pointless game. Play your intended Premiership team and risk injury. Play a second string and its a waste of time unless Hazard and Kante can use it for a run out. Time on the training pitch is what is needed, especially after watching yesterdays debacle.

[bluephoenix 1,125]

I think it would be really useful to get some play time for youngsters. Given that we might not have any other transfers I think it is best to develop our youth team... get them motivated to get their best on the pitch.

I think we should be using every spare minute possible to get our 1st team sorted dont you? After yesterday it needs working on.

I was thinking mainly in terms of them getting their training session while the youth getting some game time and realization on what to expect if they want to dine in the adults table.

Best training session is game time. Specially with rusty Eden and Kante

[kellzfresh 7,226]

We need to play Hazard and Kante from the go. They need to be blended into the system as soon as possible.

True! Guess the way I was thinking is since it hasn't been a long while since they returned to training.

I thought it would be best to first train and understand what Sarri expects out of them rather than going into the pitch with what they were doing while under Conte.

Guess it depends on how fast they adapt and Sarri can get the players to his line of thinking.

Calm down, there are a lot of changes allowed, if everyone plays for one half-time we should be fine.
