EPL 2017/18: 10 things we've learnt from the season so far

#2 Conte struggling to put his best 11 on the field

Chelsea will hope that Hazard can save them

Chelsea struggled to sign big names in the transfer window and Conte’s frustrations were evident even before the season started. Still, Chelsea managed to Sign Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Danny Drinkwater and Antonio Rudiger.

They got off to a worst possible start with a 3-2 defeat at home to Burnley, and to add insult to injury, Fabregas and Cahill were sent off.

Chelsea have already had 5 players sent off this season including Victor Moses, David Luiz and Pedro. Hazard missed the first few weeks due to an injury, and Conte did not get a chance to field his beat 11 consistently.

Worst of all, they lost Morata to an injury in their recent 1-0 defeat at the Bridge to high-flying Manchester City.
