Hazard names Liverpool and Manchester City as Chelsea’s title rivals

I think when they have got a fully fit team, I would not want to be swapping anyone in Chelsea’s best team for Tottenham’s…

The Chelsea No. 10 has seven goals in 13 league appearances so far this season, one more than Liverpool’s leading scorer Sadio Mane and two more than Philippe Coutinho, who plays in a similar position.

“There was nothing we could do about the Spurs goal”.

” I am pleased for the players, we have another type of confidence and are working a lot”.

Christian Eriksen gave Spurs hope of a first victory at Stamford Bridge since February 1990 when he fired in from long range after just 11 minutes, but Pedro Rodriguez netted a spectacular equaliser shortly before half-time and Victor Moses scored what proved to be Chelsea’s winner in the 51st minute.

“But Pedro got us a handsome goal and we got ourselves back into the game”.

The Blues are now flying high in the English top flight, topping the table by one point after winning their past seven matches in a row.

The Gunners have not lost a single game since the opening day defeat against Liverpool, but disappointing draws against Middlesbrough and Leicester City have led to them dropping precious points in what looks likely to be a hotly contested title race.

“It is not right to talk about winning the league”, said Conte.

First Manchester City and then Liverpool had taken over first place during Sunday’s matches. “It was a good goal and in the second half the team were really strong”, added the former Barcelona man. “We are very happy with the win”.

Liverpool are the third favourites, followed by Arsenal and Tottenham.

Moses agreed a four-year deal worth £45,000 a week in 2015 but Chelsea are already willing to negotiate another one and offer the 25-year old a significant pay-rise.

“They don’t have to have all of the ball to win games”. We are another team and I’m pleased about this, I’m pleased for the players.

He has adopted a 3-4-3 formation that plays to the strengths of his squad and importantly, with no European football, Conte is able to galvanise his players to focus on the big prize.
