Cesc Fabregas offers extra help as Leicester lose

Leicester 2 Chelsea 4 (after extra-time): New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte looked a relieved man as his side came from two-nil down to win this pulsating League Cup tie thanks to two Cesc Fabregas goals in extra-time.

But the Italian’s brief moment of pleasure will already have turned to anxious thoughts of how he can best patch up such a painfully leaky defence before Saturday’s high-profile Premier League match at London rivals Arsenal.

One of his tactics is likely to feature recalling experienced captain John Terry following injury.
