Speaking on Friday ahead of the game, Conte failed to hide his frustration.

“Honestly, if you have to give your evaluation on the card (on paper) it’s right. It’s right not to put Chelsea to be a favourite.

When asked why he was so gloomy about Chelsea’s chances, Conte replied: “Why? I have always answered this question, not only once but twice, three times.”
