The Blues negotiated a tough early test against Man City at the Etihad, emerging with a creditable 1-1 draw. The pain of club legend Frank Lampard scoring the equaliser soon subsided, too, as Jose Mourinho's reworked XI defeated Bolton 2-1 in their midweek Capital One Cup clash.There are still concerns about Chelsea's firepower beyond Diego Costa but for now, they're in good shape.2. Barcelona (1)A good and bad week for Luis Enrique's side: a 5-0 thrashing of lowly Levante last weekend was followed with a historic bout of futility against Malaga on Wednesday. The Blaugrana's 0-0 was notable because it was the first time in eleven La Liga seasons that they failed to register a single shot on target!On the bright side, their defending is still rock-solid, with seven clean sheets and counting this season.3. Roma (not ranked)The first of two Serie A sides to leap into the top 10 this week is Rudi Garcia's Giallorossi, who beat Cagliari (2-0) and Parma (2-1) to remain perfect in the league this season.Gervinho's hit the kind of form he never had the chance to find at Arsenal, while Miralem Pjanic has become the perfect anchor in midfield as Daniele De Rossi begins a month on the sideline with a calf injury.4. Juventus (not ranked)Has anyone noticed that Antonio Conte's no longer in charge? The transition with new manager Massimiliano Allegri has been smooth so far as the Bianconeri keep winning: a tense 1-0 win at Milan last weekend was followed with a 3-0 rout of Cesena.The summer uncertainty over Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba hasn't appeared to impact team harmony, either; Vidal scored twice on Wednesday as Juve equaled Torino's all-time Serie A record of 21 consecutive wins.
