Chelsea boss Conte: I believe in fantastic Batshuayi

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has hinted Michy Batshuayi could start in the EFL Cup tonight against West Ham.

Conte insists he's delighted to have the Belgian on the books.

"Michy has fantastic qualities, but he can still change a lot. I totally trust him and if he plays, he will play a good game," said the Italian.

"When you are in a great team and you have to work with great players it is positive for him. He has a great potential and we strongly believe in him.
