LONDON -- So has Mauricio Pochettino devised the plan to beat Chelsea or will this 2-0 defeat at Tottenham prove to be nothing more than a bump in the road for Antonio Conte's Premier League leader?
Whatever the answer to that question, Chelsea and Conte may well be kicking themselves for failing to spot the trap that Pochettino was laying for his team at White Hart Lane.
Three days prior to this game, Pochettino sent his team to Watford and laid them out in the same 3-5-2 formation that would go on to negate the game plan that has served Conte and Chelsea so well since they crashed to a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal back in September.
