Rumours have made the rounds that Chelsea might suffer points deduction if the FA finds Chelsea guilty following a brawl between Chelsea and Manchester City towards the end of the game last weekend.

After the game against West Brom, the Blues boss was asked about a potential point deduction, following last week’s ugly scenes at the end of the Manchester City game, sparked by Sergio Aguero’s horror challenge on David Luiz

See Conte’s response: “Are you joking?” he asked. “If you’re involved in a situation and the fault is not yours, why must you pay? I don’t understand. My players tried to keep the calm. We are trying to improve in all aspects. You must be honest to understand when there is a fault of one team or both teams.

“In every game you fight a lot during the 90 minutes and then when the ref blows his whistle you finish. I don’t know what happened in the past but I know what’s happening in the present. My players tried to keep the calm.”
