The recent defeat at the hands of Manchester City might have introduced some negative feelings but it has been an impressive campaign for London outfit Chelsea so far during the season, with The Blues taking their game to another dimension following the sacking of Italian tactician and the appointment of former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri.

Sarri has wasted no time in getting work done at Stamford Bridge, quickly discarding the counter-attacking system that long survived at the club and replacing it with his free-flowing and possession-based system

The manager has only spent just half a season at Stamford Bridge but he has been able to transform Chelsea into one of the finest possession-loving clubs on the continent right now, with The Blues standing at an average of 61.2 % possession across all competitions so far this season.
