There was little shift in actual rankings of the teams after another nail-biting weekend of action but there was a lot to take away from the action-packed weekend. With nail-biting matches at the Liberty Stadium and King Power providing late drama, there was the usual Manchester United draw and the dodgy City win sprinkled in between along with 6 more matches.
Let us take a look at 3 talking points from this weekend’s action.
CHELSEA ABSOLUTE FAVOURITES FOR THE TITLE?
Antonio Conte took a few weeks, but the wait looks seems completely justified as they are once again looking like a winning machine.
As Spurs took an early lead, there a fear that the dream run might be coming to an abrupt end in the derby. But the Blues fought back and did just enough to keep the run going.
A valuable 3 points against a side who were beaten till that point and a side who completely outplayed a team which had outplayed Barcelona.
As Conte himself admitted, while the Chelsea of the past could well have lost this game, his Chelsea are made of tougher mettle. No Champions League, no League Cup. Title favourites? Yes.
