The only goal Chelsea conceded this season was the penalty at Anfield.

I wouldn’t say they have incredible defenders either, maybe Thiago Silva but he’s 36. I’ve never seen a team be so solid without world class defenders, it’s crazy. I’d be surprised if they don’t win the league this season

It's all done in the midfield.

5 at the back and two very good midfielders in front of them help.

Silva is playing like a world class defender. Beast mode.

No team in particular.

Christensen and Rudiger are great.

It's clear that Kane had expected to be done with Tottenham by now. He's phoning it in this season.

Lukaku is just as good at defending as he is at attacking. Guess he's really improved after all

Red Card for Casemiro!

Their wing backs pin back opposition full backs, and their midfield screens most attacks through the middle and wins the ball back very quickly. You can try a long ball over the top, but that CB unit is a good combination of fast, physical and experienced. Plus, Mendy has been making some great saves .

United make me feel dirty. And not in a sexy way.

Is it just me or Nuno has turned Spurs into Wolves of London?

Teams should match up with Chelsea’s system and play 3 at the back. Will be interesting to see what Pep does at Stamford Bridge next week
