Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says he play his kids for their Carabao Cup tie with Nottingham Forest.

Forest's visit is Chelsea's fourth game of seven in September following their return to Champions League competition last week.

With one eye on Saturday's trip to Stoke, Conte said: "When you have to play a lot of games and have just a few days to recover, it is normal to rotate.

"I think it is a good opportunity to see the young players that are training with us. They deserve to have an opportunity and I hope to take it."
