Antonio Conte believes Chelsea's gruelling schedule and a lack of squad depth are to blame for the champions' recent struggles. Conte's side lacked energy and drive in their 0-0 draw against 10-man Leicester on Saturday. For the first time in the club's history, Chelsea have endured three successive goalless draws. "We played with tiredness," Conte said. "We played a lot of effort against Arsenal on Wednesday, then to play a good team in good physical form like Leicester was difficult. We played with almost the same players as against Arsenal."
