Chelsea defender Gary Cahill: Back 3 will take time to settle

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill says Antonio Conte's new system will take time to adjust to.

The Italian boss is slowly implementing a three-man defence at Chelsea.

The Blues used the system during their victory over Hull City, with Chelsea winning 2-0 after goals from Diego Costa and Willian.

"It is different doing it on the training pitch than in the game situations," said Cahill. "It took some getting used to, you don't get used to it overnight.

"But in the second half we weren't really threatened.

"We go into the international break with three points and a good feeling."
