Chelsea seems to have found their rhythm following their series of positive results.
Frank Lampard side have been enjoying a winning streak and have inky conceded just one goal which was against Sheffield United after six games.
Edouard Mendy has played himself into being Frank Lampard number goalkeeper with his back to back clean sheets.
While Thiago Silva has formed good partnership with Kourt Zuma at the centre back.
If you recall that the Brazilian international joined the Blues from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer in the summer window.
The 34 years old seems to have adapted to the squad and the pattern of football played in England.
Although, Thiago Silva who also played for likes of AC Milan believes he still making use of the experience he has gathered from likes of Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta whom he once played along with in the past.
"They are three very different football schools," he told a news conference. "I have had a great learning experience in Italy, one of the best schools for the back line and defensive phase.
"I also had great companions in my early days like [Paolo] Maldini and [Alessandro] Nesta, with whom I played for two years, so I was able to learn a lot from them."
Silva has also compared the Ligue 1 to the Premier League. According to him, the French league which has been dominated by Paris Saint-Germain in the past five years is a very physical.
But he admitted that he as suffered a lot of headaches since he joined Premier League side due to a lot of aerial balls which is being played in England.
He said: "The French championship is a little more physical, stronger and now PSG has a dominance over the opponents and we had to risk a little more.
"And now in the English championship, the last two games I ended up with a lot of headaches because there are aerial plays at all times and, with a very high pace of play, it is very different from the other two leagues.
"I have learned from all that and I put it into practice to help the younger players."
