In the next Premier League match, London's Chelsea will have to play without their attacking leader Diego Costa, but former club member Pat Nevin has come up with a solution. Although it is expected that Michy Batshuayi will take the Spaniard's place in the attack, the Belgian has received little playing time this season, so coach Antonio Conte may have to look for other options. According to Nevin, not only Victor Moses could play well in the sniper role, but also defenders Cesar Azpilicueta or Branislav Ivanovic. "Perhaps Conte will realize that Moses is capable of playing in the center," Nevin told the official Chelsea website. "This would not surprise me at all. Also, Cesar Azpilicueta could play in midfield, as he can play anywhere, and his quality of play does not diminish." "I will leave Branislav Ivanovic out of this discussion, as I have not found anything that would convince me that he would be a perfect sniper. His movement in the penalty area after passes from the edge is fantastic, his finishing of attacks is also unbelievably good, and I guess he would also be able to hold the ball." However, Nevin admitted that his opinion often receives skeptical looks. In addition, such a decision by Antonio Conte is unlikely, as it would further undermine Basthuayi's self-confidence.
