Far from the crisis many predicted after their first game of the season, Chelsea have now picked up four consecutive wins across all competitions despite the absence of their most talented player, Eden Hazard.
Indeed, the Belgium international missed pre-season and the first few weeks of the campaign through injury and Antonio Conte appears to be slowly nursing him back to full fitness, issuing him outings from the bench against Leicester and Qarabag.
The 5 foot 8 attacker still seems to lack that match sharpness but with a huge clash against Arsenal on the horizon – Chelsea have beaten the Gunners just once from their four meetings under Conte – we asked Blues supporters earlier this week whether Hazard should be thrust back into the starting XI on Sunday.
And according to our poll, the majority think he should, although that could run the risk of further injury problems. Who would you drop to make room for Hazard, Chelsea fans? Let us know by commenting below…
