Antonio Conte is confident that Chelsea won’t fall under pressure and will maintain their position at the top as they are heading towards a busy period.
Chelsea are currently six points clear at the top. The Blues have shrugged off last year’s dismal performance and have been in a sublime run this season. They haven’t lost their last 11 matches and if they continue to play like this, Antonio Conte could lead Chelsea to their fifth Premier League title.
Chelsea will miss Diego Costa and N’Golo Kanté in the next match as they are currently serving a one-match suspension. Diego Costa has been a revelation this season as the Spaniard netted 13 goals to fire Chelsea to the top of the League.
Conte said, “It’s good to stay in this position (at the top of the table
I don’t trust the people when they say, “It’s important now to stay behind, and there’s pressure when you’re top.
“I’d prefer the pressure of being top of the table. We earned this position. Now it’s important to keep it. It won’t be easy, for sure.
“I think we must have the right pressure. We all know that, now, we are doing fantastic things. If I go with my mind at the start of the season, not one person thought or forecast that Chelsea would stay top of the table, for many reasons.”
