LONDON -- One year after mounting the most shockingly hapless title defence in living memory, Chelsea are Premier League champions again.
The revival under Antonio Conte has been so drastic that many remain torn over how to judge this team within the context of the very best in the Premier League era. Some have been more impressed by Mauricio Pochettino's vibrant young Tottenham side that finished second this season and third last season.
But now that the dust has settled and the Premier League table is set in stone, this Chelsea team's place in the pantheon of modern English champions can be properly assessed and the numbers make for impressive reading.
