For whatever reason Pep has him on the bench most games

Mahrez is very close to a starting line up. This is Pep's internal chart when choosing players :troll:

Chelsea need a solid DM with that trash back line ...oh wait

It wouldn't matter if Kante played there. The CB's play out from the back and play a high line with both FB's push on high. Kante doesn't have the passing range to consistently beat the press or to initiate the tempo, to do the role with the way Chelsea want to play. If the they were a defensive team and played a low block then yeah, but they aren't.
