Antonio Conte has made his first decision after Watford's 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea. He has given his players three days off to rest after the humiliation, allowing them to disconnect and recover. Meanwhile the London club's owners are thinking about sacking the coach.
Chelsea do not play until Monday, at home against West Bromwich Albion. According to the Daily Mail, some players have already complained privately about the intensity of the training sessions under Conte, thinking it's affecting their performance in games. This decision seems to have been adopted partly to meet them in the middle.
