#3 The Blues are having a great festive season so far
Chelsea's evolution from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 is getting great results for the Italian. The Blues now look threatening going forward, and, at the same time, stable at the back.
It is the view of many experts that winter fixtures are crucial to a team's success in the Premier League campaign. Games come quick and fast as teams play as many as 15 games during the month of November and December combined.
On that note, Chelsea is enjoying the winter schedule. Out of 7 games in the Premier League, Chelsea have won 5 and lost just a solitary game. They beat Brighton 2-0 on Boxing Day and thrashed Stoke City 5-0 at the Bridge last week. They are looking ominous and will prove too hot to handle for the struggling Gunners.
