Kante: Bakayoko can fill Matic's boot

Much have been said about Chelsea's sale of Nemanja Matic to Premier
League rival Manchester United.

The choruses of those who are still surprised at the sale of the
Serbian have only grown louder with each solid performances he puts in
in Manchester United solid start to the season.

However, after his replacement Tiemoue Babayoko made his debut in the
backs to the wall victory over Tottenham last week, N'golo Kante has
tipped his France compatriot to eventually fill in suitably for the
Serbian once he gets to grip with the way Antonio Conte operates at
Stamford Bridge.

"As soon as Tiemoue understands how the team work, how the manager
wants us to work, we can play very well.

"Tottenham was his first game and it wasn't easy for him, because it
was the first game away to a good opponent, and he did very well. I've
tried to help him to settle well at Chelsea and feel good in the
squad."

Chelsea will be looking to get their first home win on the board when
they play Everton on Sunday.

N'golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko are expected to continue their new
partnership in the middle against the Toffees.
