Chelsea are in fine form under the management of Antonio Conte. After five wins on the bounce, scoring 16 and conceding zero, the Blues have outlined their credentials as potential champions.
After finishing tenth last campaign, few expected that we would bounce straight back to challenging at the top – yet here we are. A win today against Middlesbrough and we will end game-week 12 at the summit of English football.
An unbelievable stat revealed by @ChelseaChadder confirms just how content Conte is with the current setup of the side.
#Chelsea name an unchanged starting XI for a 5th league game. This is the 1st time it’s happened in Premier League history. #CFC

Through all of our four previous title-winning campaigns, neither of Jose Mourinho or Carlo Ancelotti named the same team five games in a row. No Chelsea manager ever has in the Premier League era.
Conte has no reason to change the side and has also been fortunate not to be hit with injuries or suspensions. It certainly bodes well, though, he appears to be delighted with how his side are playing.
