^{Chelsea defend and attack well}Too many Premier League teams either defend well or attack well, but do not do both. This has been the case with Chelsea's rivals. Louis van Gaal managed to sure up Manchester United's defence, but they have not scored enough goals. Manchester City have suffered problems in defence and Arsenal were still prone to the occasional blunder during the first half of the season. Chelsea, though, have managed to outscore their opponents and keep things tight at the back. Accusations of Mourinho's team being boring are ridiculous, as Chelsea are the only side who can claim to have got it right at both ends of the pitch over the entire campaign.
