Antonio Conte: 'Too early for title talk'

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte reiterates his belief that it is still too early to talk about the possibility of his side winning the Premier League title this season.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has reiterated that it is too early to talk about winning the Premier League title this season.

Chelsea experienced a topsy-turvy start to life under Conte, winning their opening three league games but then going three matches without a victory - including back-to-back defeats to title rivals Liverpool and Arsenal.

However, since switching to a 3-4-3 formation the Blues have won their last five games without conceding a goal, leaving them just one point adrift of league leaders Liverpool.

"This week we are working to find the right concentration, the right focus, to restart in the right way," Conte told reporters.

"I see a great opportunity this year to build something important with Chelsea. For this reason to build a new idea of football, a new method, a new philosophy. It's logical when you play in this championship you want to fight until the end, to win the title or for a place in the Champions League.

"For me now it's early to talk about this. It's important now to continue to work with the players and to continue to build something of importance for Chelsea, for the present, for the future."

Chelsea will look to pick up where they left off before the international break when they take on Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday.
