Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: We're yet to hit top gear

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists they're yet to hit top gear.

Conte's men have dropped points in just four of their 21 league games this season and recently notched up a club-record 13 Premier League wins on the spin.

The Stamford Bridge supremo – who has unsettled Diego Costa fit and available for today's clash with Hull – said: “For sure, I'm proud with how we're playing and it's very important we're top of the table.

“But I have been working with these players for five or six months and, as with every team, there is always room for improvement.

“Of course it's easier to achieve with great players but you also need players who want to get better. Without that, it's impossible.

“That's the most important thing we have here – players who want to do the work."
