Chelsea legend Joe Cole is in awe of the Premier League leaders.

The 34-year-old Cole, who won the top flight three times in a seven-year spell at Stamford Bridge, now plays in the US for Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Cole said: “Chelsea are my clear favourites for the title.

“Antonio Conte has done an unbelievable job – the atmosphere in training there is frightening.

“The boys look right on it and right ready to go. I can see them winning the league.

“It is all about players having the right personality on top of the quality and Chelsea have that. The Premier League is the toughest competition to win in the world, and that team has the personality to win it."
