The incredible statistic that puts Chelsea's Antonio Conte on par with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

The SkySports Football Show "The Debate" highlighted the amazing stat ahead of this weekends fixtures. With City losing to Liverpool and Chelsea picking up a point against Leicester both Managers now have amassed the same number of points since July 2016.

It really is an incredible statistic bearing in mind all the negativity towards Chelsea's last three results. If anything, it goes to show just how good Chelsea were last season and how good Manchester City are this time around despite losing for the first time this season yesterday.

The press continue to speculate over the manager's future on a daily basis which only intensifies after a poor performance (three in a week against Norwich, Arsenal and now Leicester) but if you look at his record compared to Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, considering he won the Premier League in his first season, he has a far better record.

The problem we have is that he refuses to adjust his tactics at the moment from the 3-5-2 formation to the attacking 3-4-3 formation which you will argue, led to most of these victories in the table above. Whether that is to enable the likes of Cesc Fabregas to play in the side (because he cannot play as part of a deeper two in the 3-4-3) is up for debate but surely now in our next six games, it gives Conte the opportunity to make the switch.

We face Norwich City at home in the FA Cup third round reply in midweek followed by our trip to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime. We then face Arsenal away in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg in just over a weeks time followed by Bournemouth at home in the Premier League. Following two busy weeks things eventually calm down with games away at Watford in the Premier League on 5th Feb followed by our trip to West Brom in the Premier League on 12th Feb.

The reason that Antonio Conte sits joint top with Pep Guardiola on the amount of points won in the Premier League since they both took over at their clubs two summers ago was not by playing 3-5-2. Make the switch Antonio!
