Chelsea recorded a 13th successive Premier League victory by overcoming Stoke 4-2 at Stamford Bridge on New Year’s Day.

Mark Hughes’ Potters refused to go away after twice coming from behind to level, but the Blues upped it as the game wore on, and a brace from Willian as well as strikes from Gary Cahill and Diego Costa secured the three points.

The victory meant that Antonio Conte’s men equalled Arsenal’s record of 13 consecutive wins in a single season, and now they will turn their attentions to breaking that record when they face Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.

Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Sunderland on Monday means that the Blues are five points clear at the top of the division ahead of Wednesday’s encounter, but they’ll find it tricky against Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who are unbeaten in all nine of their home league games this season.

Nonetheless, Conte’s men are in a wonderful position going into the second half of the season, yet the Italian may still want a few more reinforcements in January in a bid to regain the Premier League title.

Thus, here are TWO players that will make Chelsea’s season should they sign for the club this month…
