Antonio Conte may have made the ideal start to life as Chelsea boss but he still warned the rest of the Premier League: “We will get better”.

The Blues recorded their third straight Premier League win on Saturday as goals from Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses secured a 3-0 victory over newcomers Burnley.
“We know that we can improve a lot with our work, but it is also important to have a right number of players in the squad to compete with the other teams”. As stated earlier, he has relied on late Diego Costa goals in both Premier League games, before sneaking past Bristol Rovers in the cup, conceding twice at home. But we have to stop, ” said Conte.
“Then, after that, I hope to have some more players than now before the deadline”.
The Belgian has started 2016-17 season better than last season, scoring two goals in three matches.
Conte said: “Starting the season with three league wins and a win in the cup is good, for the confidence of the players, the fans, for the club, for me”. We created a lot of chances.
Hazard got the ball rolling when he collected Nemanja Matic’s pass inside his own half and galloped unchallenged down the left toward the Burnley penalty area.
To watch Eden Hazard on Saturday was to go back to the 2014-15 season when this winger was crowned the Premier League’s Player of the Year.
“I am pleased for Eden too”.
“It’s not hard because Batshuayi is a player of Chelsea and I can decide to put him in [against Burnley] no problem”, he said at a pre-match news conference. “I preferred to put Oscar until the end because the situation can become very unsafe”.
It was nearly the flawless performance for the current Premier League leaders as Burnley – who beat Liverpool last weekend – were outplayed in in every department.
“The English league every game is very tough”.
“But we did not perform well at all in the first half”.
“We know they’re a top side but we’re really disappointed with that”, the goalkeeper told Burnley’s website.

Much has been made of the possession stats against Liverpool, and while Dyche won’t expect his side to surrender as much at Stamford Bridge, he know the big-spending rivals will dominate for periods of the game.
