4) Sarri's unbeaten "Sarri Ball"

In the 1994/95 season, Frank Clark's set a record of remaining unbeaten in his first 11 Premier League games. Heading into the game with Palace, Maurizio Sarri refused to talk about the potential of him levelling Frank Clark's record.

A win over the Eagles saw him doing exactly just that, The Italian's fine start of the season at Stamford Bridge is leaving a positive impact on the players. Fans at the stadium and around the world are enjoying some exuberant and stylish football displayed by the Blues under the Italian boss.

Chelsea hosted Manchester United in October, and it was the closest Chelsea came close to defeat, however, Ross Barkley came to the rescue and the Italian manager's streak continued.

When asked about the record, Sarri said:

"I was lucky because I have very good players. The record is not one of the coach, but of the team."

The Italian will now have the chance to break the record when Chelsea host Everton at Stamford Bridge next Sunday.
