Antonio Conte admits Chelsea’s recent woes are depriving him of a good night’s sleep as “it’s important to reflect”.

Three straight wins for Conte’s Chelsea in the Premier League have been followed by two defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal, plus a draw with Francesco Guidolin’s Udinese, while they conceded twice in their extra-time win against Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City in the EFL Cup.

“I don’t sleep, sure. I don’t sleep,” the former Italy CT was quoted as saying by Sky Sports UK.

“After this game, this defeat, it’s normal for me not to sleep. Not only one night, but for two nights.

“When I don’t sleep, I reflect. And it’s important to reflect.
“When you have a bad performance – we have a bad performance together, me first, my staff second, and then the players.

“It is important to take this experience as an opportunity to understand we want to come back very quickly.
“To fight for something important in England, it is important to improve.

“It is important to show during the game how to be a great team, not only on paper.

“I don’t want to talk about defenders, midfielders or strikers. Because I think we lose and we win as a team.
“We must continue to think in the same way, always. We understood – me first then the players – that this league is very tough.

“We must improve a lot of if we want to stay up and not in the middle of the table.”
