Kante is more than Chelsea’s engine, he is the heartbeat of the side and Antonio Conte failed all month to find a way of playing without their midfielder, who picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty. Chelsea 16/1 to win PL with dabblebet Manchester United’s chances would have been vastly improved on Sunday had Kante been out as he returned to the pitch to regain possession more times (11) than any other player on the night, while his passing accuracy was also the best of all Chelsea’s starting line up (89....
