After the match, Antonio Conte claimed that…

The Blues fought their way…

Check their DMs: Fernandinho, Matic, and others key to a manager’s tactics

ESPN FC’s Shaka Hislop reveals his latest power rankings which see Liverpool and Atletico Madrid fail to make the cut.
Throughout the Premier League era, English football has never entirely embraced the defensive midfielder. In fact, the very concept has routinely prompted dissent from English fans.
Traditionally, the English game has produced plenty of box-to-box midfielders and the natural urge was therefore to field two players in that mould together. David Batty’s outstanding performances for Leeds, Blackburn and Newcastle sides were often overlooked, as was Michael Carrick’s excellent work for Manchester United….

Conte must rest Hazard, Kante as Chelsea enter busy holiday schedule

Chelsea’s 3-0 stroll against Huddersfield had its roots in several places. A chastening defeat a few days earlier against London rivals West Ham was one; callow and technically inferior opponents were another. A freshened-up starting 11 was also fundamental to victory.

Antonio Conte is not a huge fan of making unnecessary adjustments to his preferred lineup, yet for Huddersfield he made four changes from the one that lost 1-0 at the London Stadium. Admittedly, one was enforced with Alvaro Morata…

Marko Arnautovic’s 6th minute strike against Chelsea was enough to give David Moyes his first win as West Ham manager.

Gary Cahill did not hold back his disappointment following Chelsea’s poor result against West Ham.
