Chelsea surprisingly lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace on Saturday at Stamford Bridge which meant our lead at the top was reduced to seven points.
Chelsea legend Michael Ballack doesn’t believe the defeat to Crystal Palace will affect Chelsea.
“I don’t think it will affect them,” Ballack told Daily Express.
“In fact, they will do even more than before to prove there is no chance for the chasing teams especially Tottenham. So I don’t expect another loss. They look too stable.
“Conte is very much into details. I have seen that in training and the way they repeat things, always two, three times a week, getting an automatism into the behaviour of the players on the pitch so they are convinced in what they do.
“Even if it doesn’t work – like at the weekend – players don’t lose their confidence completely because it has worked so well over the season.”
