#3 Chelsea NEED N'Golo Kante back

Hull City v Chelsea - Premier League
The heart of the team

If there were any doubts about how important Kate is to the Chelsea team, they are all cleared up now. The Frenchman's absence has left the midfield open and the defence vulnerable.

His never-ending runs up and down the pitch made things easy for the attackers and defenders but in his absence, no one has been able to replicate it. Cesc Fabregas just can't keep hold of the ball like Kante nor can he contribute 10% of the Frenchman's defensive works.

Bakayoko and Drinkwater playing together would also be a disaster for Chelsea as the two would struggle to provide any sort of contribution to the attack. They are not quick like Kante nor creatively sound like Fabregas.

Chelsea face Manchester United next and are set to welcome him back into the team. He's been training but the manager opted to rest him for one more game as he does not want him to get injured again.
