Chelsea could equal 10-year old defensive record if they do this one thing vs Rennes tomorrow
Chelsea are in the middle of staging a miraculous turnaround from last season.
They ended the league being the club that conceded the most goals inside the top 10, despite finishing in 4th place.
Their defence was their achilles heel and something that badly needed to be worked on in all aspects.
They needed to add personnel, that was without a doubt. Frank Lampard brought in Edouard Mendy between the sticks, experienced veteran centre back Thiago Silva, and England international left back Ben Chilwell to shore up the back line.
All three have come in and made an instant impact. Chelsea have had 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, and 4 clean sheets in a row in their last 4.
It’s a total transformation from last season, and they are on the brink of equalling a 10-year old defensive club record.
The last time they had 5 clean sheets in a row was in 2010, if they get a clean sheet against Rennes tomorrow they will equal that record.
