Antonio Conte not surprised by Alvaro Morata's blistering start to the Premier League as Chelsea striker gears up for Manchester City clash with Blues

Alvaro Morata has adapted well to the Premier League and his recent form for Chelsea is no surprise, says manager Antonio Conte.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus striker has made a strong start in English football, scoring six goals in as many games and is level Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku and City's Sergio Aguero as the league's top scorers.

Morata also scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League but was seen limping after the game.
