Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists he agonises over the selection dilemma between Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic.

The duo are competing for one spot to play in Chelsea's midfield, next to N'Golo Kante.

He explained: “Now I have all my players top of their form, for sure it's not easy for me to make the best decisions.

"In this case (Fabregas v Matic) it's important to manage the situation and see game by game.

"If, for example, we have to face a physical team who are very strong in set-plays, you must consider a lot of situations before making the right choice.

"For sure, Cesc gives you great quality, great fantasy and assists. Yeah, but it's important for me, above all at this point of the season, to manage very well the situation and understand when it's right, for example, to play with Cesc or with Matic.

"We are talking about two great players, for sure with different characteristics. Nemanja is more physical, more technical, less fantasy than Cesc. Cesc has more fantasy but is less physical than Nemanja."
