Chelsea extended their winning run in all competitions to six matches, after coming through a big test at White Hart Lane with flying colours. The 4-2 victory, in which The Blues came back from 2-1 down, thanks largely to an inspired performance by Mata, means that Chelsea maintain their four point lead at the top of the Premier League table. Whilst Roberto Di Matteo has inherited much of this strong Chelsea team, it's fair to say that he is the one responsible for instilling this winning mentality that has transformed Chelsea back into Premier League title contenders.
October has been a challenging month for The Blues, and whilst they have passed every test thrown at them to date, Roberto Di Matteo will know that the coming week is fraught with danger. Chelsea travel to the Ukraine to face Shakhtar Donetsk this evening, as the Champions League reaches the halfway point in the Group Stage, and that clash will go some way to determining how the group is set to pan out, especially if Chelsea can find a win. Upon their return to London, Chelsea host Manchester United twice in four days, first in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon in a top of the table clash, and then midweek in the Capital One Cup, with a place in the Quarter Finals up for grabs.
