Antonio Conte's unique, dominant Chelsea defense

Antonio Conte has said you cannot turn an ugly duckling into a swan overnight, but the Italian has come pretty close to pulling it off. After a wobbly run of two defeats and one draw in six games, Chelsea have taken 50 out of an available 54 points thanks to a 3-4-3 system that has triggered dramatic improvement. Besides the originality -- no English champion have ever used the formation regularly -- the most striking aspect has been the armor-plated defensive system, which has underpinned numbers worthy of historical comparisons.
