Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon to make it 11 consecutive victories in the Premier League.
This period of good form has seen the Blues go from eighth place to nine points clear at the top of the table. It has also reflected well on Antonio Conte on a personal level, as Squawka’s Kevin Blundell reveals.
Antonio Conte has won 56 of his last 66 league games:

Conte lifted the title with Juventus in 2013 and 2014. Chelsea fans should sleep easy knowing that their manager is no stranger to title challenges. The way this season is going, however, there may be nobody able to challenge Conte and his Chelsea side. They are brushing past everyone in their path at the moment, and judging by Conte’s recent league record, they are going to take some stopping.
Chelsea finished tenth in the Premier League last campaign, so it is nothing short of a miracle that Conte has got his side playing in the manner that they are at this current time.
