3 – Keep Diego Costa fit
To win the title you need a top class striker, fully functioning. In Diego Costa, Chelsea are lucky to have one of the best strikers in the world in a climate where there are very few. The problem with Costa is he can suffer from injuries, especially in the hamstring area. Conte needs to ensure that Costa is carefully managed to make sure he has his star striker fit and firing for the entire season. There might be a ready made back up in Michy Batshuayi, but Costa is a next level striker. His style of play is so important for Chelsea – the way he holds the ball up, battles with defenders and is clinical in front of goal makes him the perfect all-round striker and as an Arsenal fan, I’d love to have him at my club.
