Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte is considering sticking with the two strikers he started in yesterday’s win at Burnley in the Premier League as the Blues gear up for their FA Cup semi-final against Southampton, according to West London Sport.
Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud played key roles as Chelsea claimed a much-needed victory thanks to an own goal from Kevin Long and a strike from Victor Moses.
Morata did miss an easy chance but his overall performance was improved, helping to give Conte a selection headache heading into the semi-final at Wembley.
Since Giroud has arrived at the club, Conte has been reluctant to play the pair at the same time with their starts being managed game by game.
Morata has really struggled since arriving at the club, failing to become what Chelsea had hoped he might, with the Spaniard flattering to deceive throughout the campaign.
The Chelsea manager has insisted that he isn’t ruling out playing the two centre-forwards up front when they face Southampton in the FA Cup this weekend:
This could be an option – a possibility for Sunday or for the future. This was the first time we tried this solution with two strikers and we had a great response. We surprised Burnley with two strikers.
