#8 Conte’s new formation works wonders for Chelsea
Antonio Conte went into the Manchester United game with a 3-4-3 formation, after switching to that formation a few games ago and it paid off for the Italian.
Chelsea had been leaking in goals earlier in the season and after the defeat to Arsenal, Antonio Conte was desperate to find the solution. Midway through the second half, Conte switched to the 3-4-3 formation and the Blues have been fantastic ever since.
Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill and David Luiz, the three defenders at the back, have been given cover by the duo of Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante, which has led to three clean sheets against Hull City, Leicester City and Manchester United for Antonio Conte’s men. The new formation is certainly working wonders and Chelsea’s title race seems to be back on track.
