Antonio Conte, who has never lost a league title in his managerial career, is having a strange start to the 2017-18 season at Chelsea. 8 games into the season, Chelsea currently sits 5th in the table with 13 points, 9 points adrift of table toppers Man City. While many Chelsea fans are already conceding the title to Manchester clubs, a more concerning question that clouds the Stamford Bridge is; 'Will Conte suffer the defending champions' syndrome'? Jose Mourinho won the title in 2014-15 and struggled and got sacked in the season after. Claudio Ranieri won the title with Leicester in 2015-16 and got sacked the season after. Will the poor start to the season cost Conte as well? Only time will tell...
