Antonio
Conte says he will continue his policy of rotating the Chelsea team ahead of
facing Arsenal in the first of three meetings against their London rivals in
January.
Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas were both left on the bench for the Premier
League defending champions' resounding 5-0 victory over Stoke last Saturday
with Danny Drinkwater and Willian given the chance to impress.
Chelsea will reclaim second spot in the table with a win at London rivals
Arsenal on Wednesday, a game you can watch live on Sky Sports Premier
League.
"When you play against Arsenal every game is very important," Conte said in
his pre-match press conference.
"Now Wednesday's game is very important for the league.
"We want to try to do our best. We want to try to get three points, to give
satisfaction to our fans."
Conte's Chelsea face a busy January which includes a two-legged semi-final
against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, with both matches live on Sky Sports
Football.
"In my plan, it's very important to involve all my players," Conte added.
"I think we are doing a really good job in this situation. We are making
many rotations, but at the same time our results are positive.
"It means all my players are working very well."
