Enzo Maresca was in a rather jovial mood on Tuesday, cracking the odd joke at his press conference and even asking reporters for their own prediction on one of life’s great questions: whether Leeds will play a back four or a back five for Chelsea’s trip to Elland Road tonight.
More revealing, though, will be whether he is still all smiles when December gives way to the New Year. This next month will tell us an awful lot about whether Chelsea are likely to go the distance in a title race. Maresca said it himself.
