7) They play like Stoke (according to Manuel Pellegrini)
The Manchester City manager isn’t entirely wrong, with Mourinho focusing very heavily on the defensive stability that Stoke City were known for for so long.
The major difference between Stoke and Chelsea however is the London club’s firepower.
6) Prolific, prolific, prolific
Speaking of firepower, you just have to look at their scoring record so far this season to see how un-Stoke like they’ve been.
Mourinho’s side have already scored seven more goals than any other Premier League team this term and if they continue in this trend then they will easily break the 100 goals mark come the end of the season.
