points off the bench and Austin Howard added 23, from corse178's blog
LONDON -- With Chelsea leaking goals too easily, Antonio Conte didnt have to search far for the solution. Authentic Isaac Yiadom Jersey .The Italian manager merely implemented the tactics that served him well with Juventus and his national team.Chelsea hasnt conceded a goal in the Premier League and has won all four games since Conte removed a defender from its typical four-man back-line. And, with four successive victories since the tactical tinkering, Chelsea has clambered up the standings to join the chasing pack.Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are only separated by goal difference, and Chelsea, which hosts Everton on Saturday, is a point behind. Its some revival for a team that was on its knees last season, when the reigning champions collapsed and Jose Mourinho was fired.Gary Cahill has been featuring on the left of the back three with David Luiz in the center and Cesar Azpilicueta on the right.Every player has worked hard on the shape the manager has brought in and we are getting the rewards, Cahill said. It is all right having the shape. It is also to do with having the players with the mentality to go out and do the business when we need to.We have the flair players to go out and create and score goals, but we also need them to dig in and defend well.The turning point was the Sept. 24 loss to Arsenal, when Chelsea had conceded three goals before halftime. Switching to three at the back for the second half shored up the defense and prevented a heavy defeat. Within weeks, Chelsea was delivering a humbling of its own by beating Manchester United 4-0 in the biggest sign that Contes 3-4-3 is flourishing.The central defenders on the right and the left must be very fast and aggressive, Conte said. The players that play in the middle of the three defenders must be more tactical, must reflect more and find the right position, and also call the line up and down.Saturdays opponent, Everton, is only four points behind Chelsea and in sixth place despite an erratic spell in recent weeks. The highlights have been holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw and beating West Ham, but losses to Burnley and Bournemouth could prove damaging to Evertons ambitions to qualify for the Europa League.Here are the other talking points this weekend:---NORTH LONDON DIVIDEArsenal and Tottenham head into Sundays derby after a week of contrasts in the Champions League. Arsenal secured a 17th consecutive season in the round of 16 with a gritty comeback to beat Ludogorets, 3-2. Tottenhams miserable return to Europes elite competition after a six-year absence continued with a home loss to Bayer Leverkusen.With only four points from a possible 12, Tottenham is facing early elimination. It may be shining in the Premier League as the last remaining unbeaten team, but in the Champions League, it just cant win.Since overwhelming Manchester City 2-0 at the start of October, Tottenham has drawn its three league games and only scored twice, dropping to fifth.Weve lost a bit of confidence, Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris said.Arsenal, though, has won 10 out of 11 games in all competitions. Sundays derby is the first time the neighbors have met since a late capitulation in May allowed Arsene Wenger to snatch second place and maintain his record of finishing above Tottenham every season since taking charge in 1996.---LEICESTER BLOWLeicester will be without goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel for Sundays match against West Bromwich Albion after he broke his right hand during Wednesdays Champions League draw with FC Copenhagen.
