Jamie Carragher has tipped Antonio Conte to drop David Luiz in favour of John Terry when the Chelsea captain returns from injury.

The Brazil international made his second Chelsea debut against Liverpool on Friday night as the west London side looked to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

Luiz filled the void left by Terry following the Chelsea skipper’s injury but the £32m summer signing couldn’t prevent the west London side from suffering a 2-1 loss to the Reds.

Former Liverpool defender Carragher believes Conte’s preferred centre-half pairing with be English duo Gary Cahill and Terry despite spending big on Luiz on transfer deadline day.

“I think it’s Cahill-Terry. It’s tried and trusted,” Carragher told Sky Sports.

Luiz won the Champions League and the Europa League during his first spell at Stamford Bridge before the versatile South American defender moved to Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain in 2014 under Jose Mourinho.

The Brazilian defender won back-to-back Ligue 1 titles during his two-year stay at PSG before his return to Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea will make the trip to Arsenal in their next Premier League game next weekend.
