#1 Five-star Chelsea end the year on a high
The display on offer for the Chelsea faithful was the perfect parting gift to 2017, a year that saw them lift the Premier League title under Antonio Conte back in May.

Chelsea were undeniably a treat to watch and despite their chances of successfully defending the title looking rather bleak due to Manchester City's impeccable form, they will know that there is still a lot to play for in 2018 due to their success in cup competitions.
Conte's men haven't been all that bad this season and the performance against Stoke is only an indication that they are still one of the big names in English football.
