Chelsea demonstrated the benefits of their new 3-4-3 system in a display that had Antonio Conte's fingerprints all over it. Like Italy at Euro 2016, the Blues came armed with predetermined moves in attack, dynamic wing-backs and a well-drilled back three that gave nothing away, which was enough to defeat Leicester City 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
That the puzzle now seems to be coming together for Conte represented unfortunate timing for Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri, whose 4-4-2 played into the hands of his rival. So much did the Foxes struggle that Ranieri opted to copy the 3-4-3 midway through the first half.
