3 reasons why Chelsea will win the 2016/17 Premier League title

Know-how

Although they have a new manager who hasn’t won the Premier League, they still have several players who won the title under Jose Mourinho in 2014/15.

Right from Thibaut Courtois in goal to Costa upfront, the vast majority of this team have been there and done it before, and this know-how could be invaluable going into the final few games of the season.

They know how to get results at the business end of the campaign – they’ve done it before – and remember it was only 18 months ago they won the title, even if it does feel longer than that because of last season’s woes.

Experience is vital – arguably it’s what let Liverpool down a few seasons back, and possibly what prevented Tottenham from a serious challenge last season – and Chelsea have it in abundance.
