Chelsea have won 7, drawn 1 – 22 points and a 4 point lead over the two Manchester clubs after 8 games. Chelsea have been splendid till date and deservedly hold their lead at the top.
Two players have been standout performers in the Chelsea squad. No prizes for guessing – Eden Hazard & Juan Mata. Like everyone else, I have been impressed by Juan Mata’s form and the way he has been central to several dominant Blue performances. At times, Juan has taken the game by the scruff of the neck, dictated play and churned out results for Chelsea – one of the characteristic signs of a title contender.
In this analysis, in order to set the standard, I’m comparing Mata with his high roller team mate – Eden Hazard, surely the best player in the Premier League at present, isn’t he? I have tried to be as objective as I can in this comparison, so Chelsea fans, please pardon me if I have missed out on some things. I welcome your feedback.
