Image for Poll: Morata Must Return To The Starting XI

Chelsea broke their recent run of drawn games in the weekend victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. We used our front page poll to ask whether the suspended, Alvaro Morata, should go straight back into the starting XI against Arsenal in Wednesday`s Carabao Cup semi-final.

Two Eden Hazard goals, a stunning Willian team goal and Victor Moses finish from Charly Musonda`s inch perfect pass, saw Chelsea complete the win. With Batshuayi combining well with Willian and Hazard, Antonio Conte has to decide if Morata should resume his strikers role. In the poll we gave out three choices

⦁ Yes!
⦁ No!
⦁ Don`t Care!


It`s our view that Yes!, Alvaro Morata should certainly be reinstated against Arsenal on Wednesday evening. He picked up 82% of the votes cast.

Should he make that starting XI, let`s hope he`s found his scoring boots. All it will take is one goal to restore his confidence. On the other hand, let`s hope the perceived arrival of Edin Dzeko doesn`t dent that same confidence.

16% of those that voted would prefer not see the out top scoring Spaniard back in the lineup, giving a firm No! in response. Just 2% took the middle road response and voted Don`t Care!

Like our poll result, it`s almost certain that Morata will be starting the game and looking to put behind him those one on one misses against Petr Cech in the first game.

Will Edin Dzeko be sitting in the stands though, critically appraising his new rival? Which brings us nicely to our current front page poll. We`re asking,

Will Edin Dzeko be a good signing if he arrives at Chelsea?

As ever, please use your vote wisely.
