Over the last 3 seasons the teams finishing in the top 3 also conceded the least amount of goals which kinda contradicts this.
Chelsea conceded 54-39-38 over the last 3 seasons under 3 different head coaches. No prizes for guessing which season Lampard was in charge. A lot was being made of the fact that we were a more attacking side but we scored 69 vs. 63 and 62 goals the seasons before that. With the attacking talent we have up front you'd think we must be able to get closer to Conte's title winning season with 85 goals (I'll settle for 75+).
Conceding 6 goals in the opening 3 opening 3 there's literally zero chance of improving on las season I think, more so when you'd expect two of these teams to finish in the bottom half of the table. I can't see us getting a clean sheet until we meet Sheffield Utd in November with Spurs/Man Utd/Palace/Saints/ Burnley coming up before them.
