Chelsea started the season with a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, but the Blues haven’t lost a Premier League game since then.

Chelsea have found good form of late, and are currently just a point behind Manchester City and Arsenal, and two points off first-placed Liverpool.

Enzo Maresca who was tasked with rebuilding the Chelsea team this season, has said the Chelsea team are already exceeding his expectations.

Enzo Maresca told Match of the Day after Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Brighton: “The two goals we conceded can happen. The important thing is the team continue in the same way, creating many chances. We are happy.

“We can probably read the moment better. We were 1-0 down then 3-1 up and maybe in that moment it is better not to take a risk.

“We have many players, during the week we played in the cup and then now. There are minutes for everyone.

“I was more focused on the way the team progressed rather than results. We are ahead in my expectation in the way we want to play.”
