Cesc Fabregas has apparently downplayed the significance of Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City by insisting the Citizens were simply 'better rested'.

The reigning champions were outclassed by Pep Guardiola's men in the Premier League last weekend with former graduate Kevin de Bruyne bagging the winner in the second-half. As a result, the Blues are six points behind table-toppers City heading into the second international break of the campaign.

Stewart Robson is well known for his time with Arsenal, and the former midfielder claims that Cesc Fabregas was a liability for Chelsea in the opening match against Burnley.

The blues suffered a surprise defeat on the opening game of the season, despite being the reigning champions, as Burnley were able to take advantage of two red cards for the home team. Gary Cahill was given a straight red card in the first half, while Fabregas was sent off for a double yellow in the second half. Robson believes that Antonio Conte cannot consider playing Cesc Fabregas and N’Golo Kante in the same midfield.

Spain international Cesc Fabregas is unperturbed with the additional competition from Tiemoue Bakayoko for the midfield role next season.

Bakayoko joined the Premier League holders from AS Monaco earlier this month after they paid up a £40m package for his services.

Cesc Fabregas has been a top talent from when he first started out as a teenager in the Premier League. He was tasked with skipper duties at a young age too at Arsenal, helping him develop faster. He has consistently provided at least ten assists for over six seasons in the Premier League.

Fabregas bailed Chelsea from the creativity conundrum last season and he is expected to continue to do so this term. With Juan Mata and Oscar gone, Fabregas was the man the team relied on in the 2014/2015 title winning season. The experienced playmaker delivered the title as he played a key role in that squad.

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has revealed an instance which happened in the backend of 2016/17 Premier League season.

The Spain international had taken his family alongside Marcos Alonso to celebrate his birthday in a restaurant in central London where he found Antonio Conte seated just behind him.

Spain international Cesc Fabregas could stay put at Chelsea next season with Antonio Conte looking to draft Nemanja Matic away from Stamford Bridge.

The World Cup winner played second fiddle to the likes of N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic last term and it was not until the final stages of the campaign, did he earn a regular run in the starting line-up.

Chelsea’s season of 2016-17 was very impressive as Antonio Conte lifted the English Premier League title during his debut season at the helm of the club but not everything was perfect as they did crash out from the 2017 FA Cup.

The finals of the 2017 FA Cup was played on May 27 of 2017 between Arsenal and Chelsea. Goals from Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey was enough for the team of Arsene Wenger to claim a triumph as the final scoreboard displayed 2-1 with Chelsea’s only goal arriving from Diego Costa.

Spain international Cesc Fabregas has hinted that he could pursue fresh pastures next term after Antonio Conte decided to bench him for the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

Pundit Stan Collymore has asked Premier League returnee Newcastle United to sign Cesc Fabregas and John Terry to provide the require experience in the top flight.

Collymore told The Mirrorthat the Magpies should also target Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has heaped praise on midfielder Cesc Fabregas by saying that the Spaniard has been decisive when it comes to contributing towards Chelsea’s title challenge.

The Spaniard has largely been used as an impact substitute by the manager. Fabregas has largely come on as a substitute late in the matches in order to make an impact. Nemanja Matic has been preferred as the first choice alongside N’Golo Kante. However, the attitude towards Fabregas has certainly changed in the second half of the season with Conte witnessing first-hand the ability of the former Barcelona star to make a decisive impact on matches.
