Antonio Conte: "I think that, maybe, you have to find a bit more balance. I understand that we have to live with this pressure, and it's okay for me. It's okay for me and my players. I don't think talking about my future can affect the players. Otherwise, from the first game we lost against Burnley, this could have happened. My players are not used to it, but they are getting used to these rumours and speculation. But, for sure, I'm very happy."
Alan Pardew: "I do feel sorry for the manager because the job he did last year was absolutely outstanding and I don't really think he's changed too much. Maybe the quality of the opposition has changed and maybe the players he's had available haven't been to the consistency he had when he won it. But you cannot fault his record and the job he's done since he came to the Premier League. Chelsea had great momentum last season and they played a system that everybody was trying to deal with."
