Chelsea have little need to worry about coming back from the international break our stats reveal.
In games following the last 10 international breaks, the Blues have, on average, maintained the same form coming out of the break as they did beforehand.
In the six matches leading up to the international break, Chelsea averaged 1.8 points per game - exactly the same as in the fixtures following the resumption.
However, in what could give Jose Mourinho some cause for concern, the London club have lost four of the 10 games following international breaks although they have won five.
Last season’s top four lost just eight of the 40 games played following an international break.
However, the top four also maintained the same points per game ratio (1.9) in the matches following the resumption as the did before the break.
