Norwich an ideal fixture?
Norwich away is not an ideal fixture, it’s a tough, tough match. The fans are buzzing there at the moment and it will be tough.

Strikers...
We work hard on the training pitch for that. What I have got is great attitudes in the three strikers and the other players. Tammy’s goes in off the post at United it is a different story. It’s about belief.
13:28
How close are Chelsea to what you want?
We have shown some really good bits. We are not where we want to be yet, it is not easy to change everything in one go. You have to keep working hard. We will continue to get better.
13:28
Batshuayi in the U23s
It was a good performance and he got what he needed out of the game. He worked hard. We need Michy, we need the competition for up front. Hopefully if they can continue. If we had been more clinical we might have had three wins, that is the challenge for us. Not just the strikers, competition is good.
13:26
Torres
A fantastic career, and a good man. We have stayed in touch. He had some tough times, he had some huge moments as well and a huge congratulations for him.
13:26
Mason Mount
He has handled it brilliantly, I knew he would. He has got the hunger, the desire and the humility. I wasn’t worried about it. He is going to be a big player for.
13:25
Plan B and c
We work all the time on different styles. I am talking about managing a game and we have maybe lacked that to a degree.
13:24
City, Liverpool and top four.
They were clearly ahead of everyone else last year. I think that has been the change has been the fact it is more competitive for the top four and top six. The rise of Wolves and the investment of others. Everyone has a tough job in this league. We all have our issues.
13:23
Worried about no win?
Always, because you want to win every game. We must definitely not get too on top of ourselves.
13:22
Norwich
They have a very good team. A great act to follow in the Championship and I have been impressed to see them carry that on.
13:22
Kante injury?
Ankle, an ankle sprain
13:21
Leicester
The first half was fantastic, normally it would be 2 or 3 nil. When you don’t capitalise you can be nervy, they equalised and we became a bit desperate. It might be a 20 minute patch. We got some things wrong, for sure.
13:20
Norwich City, how important?
It’s as important as any of them. We want to win of course, we must remain confident. We want to win the game but must be respectful of them. I know the dangers that they have.
13:20
More players out this month?
We’ll see. Nothing is clear at the moment. I am happy with the squad. We need players, we can’t bring anyone in.
13:19
Hudson-Odoi after the international break?
Yes. He is training, looking bright and sharp. But we want to protect him as he has had a long time out. Reece James as well.
13:18
Team news
Kante has got an injury, so we will assess that over 24 hours. Rudiger not fit yet, hopefully next week. Pedro missed open training only because he contributed a lot over three weeks. That was just a precaution.
