What happened. Chelsea finished 10th last season, mirroring their 2015-16 campaign, and now have new manager Xabi Alonso.

• Alonso's Leverkusen won Bundesliga unbeaten with back three.
• Conte's switch to back three sparked 13-game winning run.
• Title required 43-point improvement from 10th place.

Alonso may adopt a back three, hoping to replicate Conte's tactical turnaround.
