Four games into his new career at Chelsea and manager Antonio Conte has already guided his side to four consecutive wins and into the top two of the Premier League following a comfortable 3-0 victory over Burnley in which Eden Hazard was inspirational.

“I believe with this market it’s very hard to [do] something”, he said ahead of Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Burnley.
“I want Hazard to be decisive at the beginning and I am pleased because I saw this today”.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte fears he could be left frustrated in his bid to bolster the Blues squad before the transfer window closes.
Instead Costa turned provider five minutes before half-time, knocking a square ball to Willian who instead of playing the one-two, simply stepped past Matt Lowton and lashed an angled drive past Heaton.
Nigeria winger Victor Moses scored his first league goal of the season after bagging Chelsea’s third in their 3-0 win against Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
It has been a ideal start to life under Conte for the Blues, especially if you were to compare it to last season.
For a solid couple hours, Chelsea could forget about the “crazy” transfer market and concentrate on the actual football.
Chelsea continued their 100 per cent start to the season by romping to victory over Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
All three of those players would be strong selections for your Fan Duel side, but even the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta, N’Golo Kante and Gary Cahill will rack up the points if the west Londoners claim another convincing win on Saturday.
“I always said I prefer to spend a lot of money for a great player, not a medium player”.
As noted by ESPN FC, that double swoop cost the club £60m, but they’ve been unable to add to that spending so far after being rejected in their pursuits of several top targets. “When you have these kinds of players it’s good for me”, Conte said.

A thoroughly satisfying afternoon’s work for the Blues once more, but Sean Dyche’s men have some serious work to do for the season ahead if this display was anything to go by.
