And, finally, the champions luck and motivation. For starters, nothing can be achieved without a hint of luck – and Chelsea’s Premier League-winning run had a share of it – and a lot of motivation.

When they have tasted glory once, the players become addicted to it. Their mindset changes to accompany more of that triumph. It is for this reason as to why Chelsea won the league last term – their players had already tasted it once under Mourinho and were dying for more of it.
That champions attitude is going to help Chelsea overcome Liverpool as well. The last time Liverpool won something substantial was in 2005 in Istanbul and let’s not even get to their league-winning credentials.
Chelsea will do anything to retain their crown, as we have seen so far this season, and Liverpool are nothing but a thorn in their way – and they are not going to let a thorn hinder their progress.
