Roman Abramovich is angry with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte

Antonio Conte insists he is not anxious about the threat of being sacked as Chelsea head coach but admits having trouble sleeping due to "difficult situations".

The Belgian youngster hasn't had much of a look-in under Antonio Conte this season - and the club are ready to sanction a temporary exit.

"The Blues have reached the fifth Round in 17 of the last 19 seasons and I expect Antonio Conte's side to win a low-scoring affair on Sunday".

The Spaniard has not played since the goalless draw against Leicester City on 13 January and Conte said that he will need to pass a late fitness test to determine his availability to face Newcastle.

My first task is to do my job, to be a coach and to try to improve my players.

It seems that the club are confident with agreeing a transfer sum with the Italian club but the player agreeing terms continues to be an obstacle.

Speaking after Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday, Conte had suggested he had little impact on the club's transfer decisions.

Chelsea are willing to pay Roma £26m for striker Edin Dzeko, Sky Sports reports.

Luiz had a major falling-out with Conte in October and has had just 32 minutes of action in the Premier League since.

When asked about tensions at Stamford Bridge, Conte was keen to point out that the pressures at Chelsea - who have had 10 permanent managers in the last 14 years - are not unique to him.
