Chelsea’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

CM – Nemanja Matic

Nemanja Matic did not have the best of seasons last time out under Jose Mourinho and Guus Hiddink, but looks back to his best under Conte.

The midfielder has laid on five assists so far in the league – only Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne has more (6) – but he is also doing the so-called dirty work a lot better this season, breaking up play alongside N’Golo Kante effectively.

The Serb has been in superb form in this campaign, and is clearly enjoying his role in the middle of this Conte system.
