Ben Chilwell insists Chelsea’s red-hot form is down to the humility within the squad – with no egos plaguing the camp.

The Blues have won their last seven matches in all competitions, sitting three points clear at the top of the Premier League and on course to progress into the Champions League knockouts.

The left-back reckons the strong cohesion and unity among all the players, in and out of the team, and coaches is playing a pivotal factor in their recent success.

Reflecting on the Blues’ ascent, he said: “I think that’s a sign of the fact we’ve got such a strong group that’s doing well at the moment because there are no egos in this squad.

“There is a group of players that want to work hard for the manager, work hard for the club and for each other and whoever gets their opportunity they’re ready.”
