Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola feels the next two games can kickstart their season.

Antonio Conte's men started well but came off the rails slightly before going into the international break off the back of a 2-0 win away at Hull.

But they've got two tricky tests coming up ion the form of champions Leicester and Manchester United.

Zola said: “Conte would prefer it if these two fixtures did not come straight after the international break, when so many of his players were away.

"But Chelsea will still be strong. They started the season very well and then had a setback, but they are picking up again. Sometimes, losing can help you improve.

"It will be important for Chelsea how quickly they can adapt to the new system Conte has introduced.

"I know he is a very hard-working coach, and I am sure they will be doing everything to make this work.

"After losing their two biggest games so far this season, I am sure Chelsea will see this as an opportunity to make a statement in their next two games."
