Antonio Conte’s Chelsea are currently at the top of the Premier League table, with a point over Liverpool and Manchester City, 13 games into the season.
The victory at the weekend over the Spurs will have given the side a lot of confidence and they will need all that and more this weekend when they travel to the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are not in the best possible form at the moment but will be favorites to win this game playing at home and Conte’s side will have to be at their best to get anything from this game.
But that should not be too hard for the Blues as they have some of the most inform players in their squad early this season.
Spanish striker Diego Costa has done a superb job in front of goal and stands as the highest goal scorer in the competition but one player who has defied all expectations is Nigerian winger Victor Moses.
The 25-year old who spent more than 3 years out on loan from Chelsea finally got his chance in the first team at the Bridge and he has taken his chance with both hands, cementing a place in the starting lineup.
Antonio Conte’s system needs specialist full backs but Moses slotted into the spot like it was his own and has been one of the most consistent players for the side this season.
He has shown great discipline at the back when needed but his energy, running and technique have made him a dangerous player in the final third, adding some width and also a cutting edge to the attack of the Blues.
He has been improving by the game this season and it does not come as a surprise that the 25-year old is named as the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month for the month of November.
In a poll held by Sky, more than 40,000 people had themselves heard, voting for their favorites players, and the Nigeria winger got 18,756 votes making him the Player of the Month for the previous month.
Swansea’s Sigurdsson came second with 7,791 votes, while Watford’s Nordin Amrabat was third with 5,378 votes. Rounding off the top six were Sunderland’s Victor Anichebe (3,642), Manchester City’s Aguero (3,457) and West Brom’s Matt Phillips (1,203).
Sky’s expert panel including pundits Peter Beagrie and Paul Merson, Mike Riley – general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials, and Malcolm Clarke – chairman of the Football Supporters’ Federation.
He scored the winning goal in the London derby at the weekend and has been influential in games for Chelsea this season and thoroughly deserves to take the award home.
