I think it's time to try something different, the 3-4-3 hasn't been working at all recently. I don't think we will, as Conte is the stubborn type, but here's what I'd go with:

Lloris
Emerson - Romero - Lenglet - Davies
Bissouma - Hojbjerg - Sarr
Kulusevski - Kane - Perisic
Main personnel decisions are Emerson over Doherty because it's a back four, Sarr over Skipp because I want to see what he can offer, and Perisic over Son because Son hasn't contributed anything for months.
Bissoumas suspended mate

Conte presser - Bentacur still out, kulu is 50/50

So basically as you were with bissouma suspended too

I know its all very FM save, but I wondered about giving Spence a go at RWB with a midfield 3 to help cover - after all, this team is supposed to function by providing creation in the wing back/wide areas. Having Bentancur and Bissouma out does compromise this, but it isn't inconceivable as an effective idea - even with Kulu, if fit, more centrally, behind K & S. Guess it won't happen in a Conte side, but it could be something more likely to be seen against Portsmouth?
We need creativity, and this is as bad as I've seen since maybe AVB?

What I've been told...
Given who's available and the fact we're guaranteed a 3-4-3, I'd prefer to see this line up:

Choosing between:

Dier or Davies
Doherty or Royal
Skipp or Sarr
Forced to play the 6th choice forward.

Whilst I don’t think Conte is faultless, I really do sympathize with him.

Doherty - Dier - Romero - Lenglet - Perisic
Sarr - PEH - Skipp
Kane - Son

We played with just two up top at Brighton and managed to grind out a 1-0 result. A clean sheet would do us the world of good going into the NLD.
