Chelsea FC had a very dominant November, winning every single game in which they played. Currently riding an eight wins in eight games streak, the Blues have ascended to a three point lead in the top of the table. As reward for their dominance, Stamford Bridge have swept the Premier League monthly awards.
Antonio Conte and Diego Costa have won the Premier League Manager and Player of the Month awards for November, and Pedro took home goal of the month for his scoring strike against Tottenham Hotspur.

It’s certainly a news worthy day for all three of these Chelsea figures as Conte gave his weekly press briefing ahead of the match against West Bromwich Albion and took questions on Alexis Sanchez transfer rumors. There were no updates on the two players who won the monthly awards, both of which face fitness tests in order to be available for selection this weekend.
Also a doubt for Sunday is Nemanja Matic, but Conte did not disclose any further information on him either.
