3 reasons why Chelsea are the team to beat this season

#2. The perfect midfield trio

Kovacic along with Kante and Jorghino makes an enviable midfield at Chelsea

With a workhorse like N'Golo Kante by his side, Jorginho really made a huge impact at Chelsea. His short, quick passing combined with a matured knowledge of space and when to release the ball changed Chelsea's outlook overnight and is one of the main reasons for Chelsea's unbeaten run this season.

From Napoli, Maurizio Sarri managed to convince Jorginho to join Chelsea. He was the main focal point of Napoli's brilliance in the last season and quickly stamped his excellence this season with the London club.

Chelsea also brought Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid on a season-long loan which is turning out to be special for the Croatian lad. He managed to impress Sarri in no time and his dribbling and vision with undying energy really bode well for Chelsea.

Sarri also managed to hand Kante an advanced role which was a change for arguably the world's best defensive midfielder but he steadily made an impact with his newfound role. The trio of Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic make Chelsea's midfield the most energetic and stable in the English Premier League.
