I'd love to see Michy start this one upfront with Costa or just off him. Let them both loose on these northern monkeys and get them on the backfoot from the get-go.

Conte seeks to reinforce his squad, with interest likely to be expressed in #SaintsFC centre-half Virgil van Dijk (Guardian) #CFC Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants to sign Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk at the end of the season. #CFC #SaintsFC (Standard)

60 MILLION FOR OSCAR?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Amazing. Bloody amazing .

Chelsea want Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez to form dream strike partnership with Costa #CFC #AFC (via @MirrorDarren) Chelsea are the latest club to join the queue of interested parties monitoring the situation of Sanchez (Telegraph) #CFC #AFC #Fiorentina duo Milan Badelj and Federico Bernardeschi are also both reported to be on Conte's wish list. #CFC (Express)

Dunno about you guys but I'm sure as hell watching MOTD tonight. CAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFREEEEEE!!

Gary Neville got it spot on at the time of the incident saying it's good to see your players standing up for each other, couldn't agree more, Aguero deserved more than a push naturally though. Absolute scum of the earth.

Aguero isn't even half the person that David Luiz is. An absolute mong of a human being who went all-out to hurt an opponent just because he lost. Luiz on the other hand is the best defender in the league, suck on that Sergio you little wankstain. CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREFREEEEE!

Aguero is a massive piece of shit. Also water is wet. ....AND Pep is bald.

Dan Levene ‏@danlevene 16m16 minutes ago Sly fouls. Simulation. Pep Guardiola truly has brought the spirit of Barcelona to Manchester City. THIS.

Goal was coming. Ah well. Thoughts: - Aguero, that was for the time you studded Luiz a few years ago, piece of shit. Great player but I hate him. Dirty git but never fully acknowledged. - Fabregas doesn't work in a two man midfield, get him off and the workrate and pressing of Oscar on. - Alonso running through treacle, Navas has the beating of him which makes me nervous. - David Luiz has been great again, shame about Cahill next to him Can't see us getting back into this one, especially without a couple of changes but who knows. COME ON CHELSEA PS. Sky, can you stop cutting to that boiled egg with a beard Guardiola all the time.

Azpi is such a great defender, the man's vision and ability to deal with danger is incredible, a real eye opener and I was already a HUGE fan of his. Fantastic stuff from him, a defender who clearly loves defending.

TAKE THAT SPUDS! HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! Who needs Messi when you've got SUPER VICTOR MOSES! UP THE CHELSEA!!!

Kyle Walker is a scum bag. Also water is wet.

FUCKING GET IN! Great play Diego, Where was their defence? fuck me that was awful.

What a stunning, stunning goal that was.

Chelsea have identified #Sampdoria striker Luis Muriel as a possible target on the transfer market (via @DiMarzio) #CFC Luis Muriel has a release trigger set at €28m, and other than #CFC, he is drawing interest from #Napoli too. (via @DiMarzio) #Sampdoria #Sampdoria's President commented he wouldn't sell Muriel, but it's believed that Sampdoria would consider a €25m offer (via @DiMarzio) #CFC Muriel's contract is up in June 2019, and whether a deal goes through could be tied to a possible contract extension. (via @DiMarzio) #CFC

Haha! Nice! He's clearly got a manager who has instilled a lot of confidence into him, Conte is working wonders with David to get him to reach his potential. Alongside what he's done for Victor Moses, incredible stuff.

David Luiz was absolutely phenomenal today. INCREDIBLE performance, his doubters have gone very quiet. WELL PLAYED GEEZER!

What's standing out to me like a sore thumb is how much improved Diego Costa's link-up play has been, my days he's really looking the complete striker, and that instinctive strikers finish just capped that off. Good stuff from him, top player. - Hazard has been okay in spurts but he seems to be bottling a few challenges, hopefully its just rust from the International break, he's opened them up a few times though so promising! - Kante is awesome, seriously awesome. - The gaps left behind by the wide players is a worry on the quick counter from Boro. Careful lads! - The transition from defence to attack is so good right now, the wing backs have so much room, we need to get to them quicker at times though especially down the left with Alonso. Nervy game but I like what I see, especially from Diego, just don't let the crowd back into it now. UP THE CHELS!

Hakan Calhanoglu was close to moving to #Chelsea in July, but Leverkusen were unwilling to budge from their £17m asking price. [Haberturk] Turkey boss Fatih Terim was even made aware of Calhanoglu’s move, with Antonio Conte keen to find an alternative to Oscar. [Haberturk]

Seems like Jose is calling out Luke Shaw again for pulling out of their game today due to a niggling injury. I know he hasn't done much at United, and has been very unfortunate with injury but I'd take him at Chelsea. Conte could work his magic on him for sure and would be excellent cover for that LWB position.
