Chelsea march on

Chelsea’s processional march towards the Premier League title continued at Swansea City’s expense yesterday as last season’s champions Leicester City dropped into the bottom three. Antonio Conte’s side were not firing on all cylinders against a resolute Swansea side managed by their former assistant manager Paul Clement but second-half goals by Pedro and Diego Costa made sure of a 3-1 victory. They are now 11 points ahead of Manchester City who have 13 games left to play and while Italian Conte is too cagey to start proclaiming his side yet, only a monumental loss of form can deny them the title. Chelsea’s victory made it mathematically impossible for Leicester to catch them as they are 42 points behind the leaders going into their home clash with Liverpool tomorrow – their first fixture since the sacking of manager Claudio Ranieri.
