Chelsea Result
Chelsea’s ability to go unbeaten this season has also been attributed to their squad depth. The team has several dependable players both in the field and on the substitute bench. This all round, well-coordinated and blended team has some of the best midfield and attacking players with the likes of Fabregas, John Mikel Obi. Nemanja Matic, Mohamed Salah, Andre Schurrle, Oscar, Willian, and Eden Hazard available.
Their strike force is led by their clinical finisher and goal machine Diego Costa, with Loic Remy and Didier Drogba providing cover in the event an extra striker is needed. The solid defense partnership between John Terry and Garry Cahill is great with Kurt Zouma and Ivanovic being capable deputies.
Even though Chelsea’s manager, Jose Mourinho has downplayed their ability to have an unbeaten run this season, who doesn’t know the special one and ability to play his mind games? Mourinho, who has raised the bar at Stanford Bridge is keen on becoming a managerial legend and will go all lengths to achieve his goals.
The only other team to have gone unbeaten in modern history is Arsenal in the 2003/2004 season and their manager, Arsene Wenger, is of the view that Chelsea have a great and dedicated squad this season to go unbeaten.
Chelsea’s main advantage is their consistency and great form. Other factors that may help them achieve an unbeaten run is lack of serious opposition with teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool still going through transitions while Arsenal and Manchester City are inconsistent and short of ideas.
