Chelsea are seemingly running away with the Premier League. They're eight points clear of second-place Manchester City and are going strong in the FA Cup, too, meaning manager Antonio Conte is on course to record a league and cup double in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
It's a far cry from where they were at the same stage of 2015-16, when the Blues faced the reality of missing out on European football altogether as they collapsed spectacularly in the defence of their Premier League crown.
Chelsea's position of strength now couldn't have been imagined as recently as the start of this season.
