Eden Hazard has faith in Antonio Conte

Eden Hazard is confident Antonio Conte will inspire Chelsea to recover from their first defeat of the season when they visit Leicester tonight (7.45pm, live on Sky Sports).

The EFL Cup third-round fixture is their first since a 2-1 loss at home to Liverpool on Friday condemned Conte to his first competitive defeat since his appointment as the club’s manager.

Hazard appears rejuvenated under the Italian, and after a disappointing 2015-16 season he believes Conte’s communication and motivation skills are key.
