The two teams not in Europe are now 1st and 2nd, scoring 11 goals between them this weekend.

So this is an exciting time for me, I am planning a trip to the UK and Germany for May 2017. My buddy and I are planning on going to the bridge for the Middlesbrough match, and then 2 weeks later we'll head to OT. Can someone explain how I would go about buying tickets?

Old Trafford i'd forget about, that'll sell out to season ticket holders i'm sure. Middlesbrough might reach general sale with a bit of luck but safest bet is buy a membership and take it from there (bit pricey for one game though) .

Alright, so to be honest, the last time I felt Chelsea played football at this level was the first half of the 2014/ 2015 season, which we happened to win. Back then I remember thinking to myself, that this year we'd genuinely be able to play up against and beat clubs like Barca, Real and Bayern. This past month, I've had the exact same feeling, perhaps not against West Ham, but right now, we're playing football on a very high level, on no one seems to be able to contain our attack, whilst both our midfield and defence seem impenetrable. I can't help but be a little scared, however, of the time - because this time WILL come - where one or two (if not more) of our current XI gets injured and will have to be replaced. At least, I think it could prove critical if Kante, Matic, Hazard, Alonso or Moses got injured, as I think they're by far the better alternative on their position as of now. Also I fear if two of our starting central defenders (mostly Azpilicueta and Luiz) get injured. I think Zouma will be able to fill in the gap left by one of these, by I honestly doubt that Ivanovic and Terry will be able to - especially, if they're sharing defensive duties with Gary Cahill (afterall, I don't really want to see that happening again) .
Nevertheless, as of now, I think we can allows ourselves to have very high expectations for the remainding part of the season, and regardless of how it turns out, at least we can say that we've got to see some of the most beautiful football, to have hit English soil the past years.

Obviously this form can't last forever so I won't be too disappointed when it ends but for now we should enjoy it. Conte has the whole team playing fantastically, never would've thought we'd smash Everton and United so comfortably! Now we've scored 16 goals in the league with no reply! Boro away will be tough as we've seen their resilience away at Arsenal and City, Spurs at home will be tough and a must win and I believe we have city soon which will be our biggest test. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, just wish it wasn't the international break now!

I think Matic can be replaced by Chalobah personally. Perhaps not the exact same level but I don't think the drop off in quality is so great that we would unravel if he had to step in. I think our biggest worry imo is Alonso as we don't have anyone who can step in to cover as Azpi isn't a good enough attacking outlet on the left.

Great result today! got to be honest I was a little worried for our attacking prospects this season after no real first 11 signings further up the pitch than Kante (who I also didn't realise was so good going forward too! (Also think Bats will come class in a few years, so not complaining about that signing) ), but this change in approach gives us so many options in attack.
We have players everywhere and width I've not seen at Chelsea since Damien Duff. I'm loving it, great to watch!
My only criticism is that the bloody international break has to come now 😂.

Agree the international break has come at the wrong time.

Came at the wrong time last time too, right after 3 wins on the bounce and then we go 3 without a win.
