Antonio Conte believes that Chelsea have the perfect opportunity to respond to the defeat against West Ham at the weekend: a game against Huddersfield in midweek.

Chelsea had seen a revival of sorts, to lift themselves close to second place, after a poor start to the season. However, the defeat to West Ham came at the worst moment, as they failed to catch up on Manchester United after the Red Devils suffered a defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

Conte wants more from his team as they look to bounce back from the game, and he gave his thoughts to reporters before the clash.

"Change the final result,' Conte stated. "We lost the game against West Ham despite dominating. We shot 19 times, we created chances to score but at the end we lost the game."

"The most important thing is to have a good final result. It's important to find the solution at this moment and not to look too far. There are many games and we have to find the solution early, and in this case it's right to make rotations."

Conte also spoke about the lack of time to spend with the players ahead of the game, given the quick turnaround of fixtures.

'We worked only today with the players that played against West Ham. For sure when you have to play after two days, you must be ready and smart to prepare for the game quickly," he commented.

"And then, I repeat: find the best solution for the team, especially because a lot of players are playing a lot of games. It means some are a bit tired. My task is to find the best solution and at the same time not lose our balance."

Despite the defeat, Chelsea are only three points away from second place. However, the chance to retain their title looks to be gone, with Manchester City a full 14 points clear at the top.
