3 things Conte absolutely must do for Chelsea to beat Stoke City on Saturday

 Record

Antonio Conte and his players have been quick to downplay the significance of the winning record they are currently embarking on, but now might be the time to place some focus upon it in and around the Chelsea dressing room.

The Blues are within touching distance of the 14 successive wins necessary to take the top spot, and that could be just what the Chelsea players need to push them over the edge.

Chelsea could have been accused in recent years of becoming complacent at the top – and Conte must not allow that to happen.

If the players are constantly reminded of the importance of beating that record – they will surely go all the way and beat Stoke.
