That is the bold claim made by pundit Jamie Redknapp.

Chelsea romped to a 5-0 thrashing of Everton on Saturday afternoon that leaves them second in the table, one point behind Liverpool.

Eden Hazard (2), Marcos Alonso, Diego Costa and Pedro made the headlines with the goals for the Blues, but it was the performances of Antonio Conte’s midfield duo that caught Redknapp’s eye.

Kante’s incredible work-rate for Leicester last season fired them towards the club’s first Premier League title and he has brought the same mentality to west London since his summer move.

Meanwhile Matic, who was in an out of the starting XI last term, looks to have cemented himself a regular spot in Conte’s side in recent weeks with the likes of Oscar, Nathaniel Chalobah and Cesc Fabregas having to make way.
