Chelsea defender David Luiz is enjoying life back at Stamford Bridge, having played in every game since rejoining the club on transfer deadline day from Paris Saint Germain. Conte has recently switched to a back 3, with Luiz in the centre.

The 30 year old has relished his partnership with Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta at the back, “I have the best job in the world and it doesn’t matter which system we play,” he told the Chelsea website. ‘

“You need to do what’s required in your particular role but I want to do my best for the team, not for myself. I have to be alert, to look around and to cover because it’s important for me to have that vision.

“I think Azpi and Gary have more opportunities on the ball than me in this formation but against Leicester I was able to get on the ball a lot. When you play with three in defence you try to play out from the back into midfield so they can create more.

“I have that side of my personality, to be a leader and to organise. A leader needs to be available to give something for others. I’ve had that in my character since I was young but of course I understand that now there is a responsibility, as somebody who has been here before and played many games, to use the experiences I’ve picked up in my career to help the youngsters.”
