Antonio Conte 'not interested' in favourites talk

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is 'not interested' in talking about favourites for the Premier League this season.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has said that he is 'not interested' in talking about favourites for the Premier League this season.

The Blues, Manchester United and Manchester City have each won their opening three games of the new season, and the trio have been tipped to challenge for the crown that Leicester City currently hold.

Conte, however, has claimed that Leicester's triumph last season is an indication of the unpredictability of England's top flight.

"I don't like to speak about favourites. Last season showed us that a team that is not the favourite can win the title. We all know United and City are two great teams, they have both done a lot in the transfer market. But I hope, at the end of the season, there will be five or six teams that can fight for the title," Conte told reporters.

Chelsea will attempt to move onto 12 points in the Premier League table when they travel to Swansea City on Sunday.
