At the start of the season, many Chelsea fans were thinking that top four was their aim. However, Conte has got them to first, six points off both Arsenal and Liverpool. Conte has the edge to his rivals for backup with Willian, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Terry and Batshuayi, which is better than other title rivals especially Liverpool.
The defence, which was a big concern at the start of the season, has worked a treat for them since they have switched to a back three. One of the things which surprised me was th at Terry is being dropped. However, Azpilicueta has filled in beautifully for him as an un inexperienced centre back.
But, the real thing that has worked for most of this season is the new formation, 3-4-3. As I already said, the defence fits in beautifully to the formation. The two midfielders, Matic and Kante, have been transformed, and provide cover for their centre backs. Nevertheless, the secret weapon is the wing backs, Moses and Alonso, who attack a lot of the time, but put in their defensive shift too. Both players were expected to spend their time on the bench this season. However, after the formation change, they were more suited to the wing back position than their competitors.
Moving further up the field, you have Costa and Hazard, both in form, scoring most of the goals and providing the assists for the team.
So I just can’t see how they’re not going to win the league. Despite my reasons, do Chelsea fans agree with me? Or do fans of other teams think they’re going to win the league? You just need to comment on the page.
