What a form these two are in!

Last season, Victor Moses was at Stoke City and was finding it difficult to get into their starting XI. He managed to make 19 appearances for the Potters, and everybody thought he was set to be sold in the summer by Chelsea.

The story of Marcos Alonso is no different. He was struggling in the Premier League when he joined Sunderland on loan in 2014 and at Fiorentina, he was very inconsistent.

But now, the two are dominating the wings like world class players. Antonio Conte has played them consistently and ever since the two adopted that position, Chelsea are undefeated.

When Chelsea attack, they are present up front to cross the ball in and when they are defending, the duo are right on the opponent's wingers and giving them no space to make a cross.

Eyebrows were raised when Conte brought them into the first XI but now the same people are just raising up to applaud their performances every single game!
