Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher rates Chelsea as a title dark horse this season.

He wrote in the Daily Mail: "At the minute, it feels like they are flying under the radar. You cannot help being drawn to Mourinho and Guardiola but it would be a mistake for everyone not to pay the closest attention to the work of Antonio Conte.

"Chelsea aren't a popular club around the country. We don't like the fact that they continually chop and change managers, that men with the pedigree of Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti can be sacked at the first sign of trouble.

"But Roman Abramovich set an agenda from day one. He is ruthless and sent out a message that he is there to win. Consequently, everybody at that organisation knows what is expected of them and they have appointed a manager who embodies that approach.

"Already, after just three games, we have seen Conte will not shirk any decision — Cesc Fabregas, who has lost his place, will already acknowledge that — to get the result he wants."
