Chelsea on Worst Defensive Run


Chelsea on worst defensive run for six years
Gett?
Having conceded in nine consecutive Premier League games, the leaders are on their worst defensive run since Andre Villas Boas' tenure
Chelsea may be waltzing to the Premier League title, but their defensive record is something Antonio Conte will be keen to look at once the dust has settled on his first season at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have long been famed for their prowess at the back, while Conte's Juventus backline was similarly notorious for grinding out clean sheets.

Still, that somewhat leaky defence has hardly held the Blues back.
Of those nine games, six ended in victory for Conte's men while two finished tied.
Only Crystal Palace managed to topple the leaders with a 2-1 win on April 1.
