Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has put plenty of hard work into changing the mentality of the Blues' squad following Frank Lampard's departure, according to former West Ham and Liverpool midfielder Don Hutchison. Tuchel is unbeaten in his first 11 matches as Chelsea head coach. The German has led the Stamford Bridge club to fourth in the Premier League following Monday's 2-0 win over Everton.

"I just think there's been a change in the mentality amongst the Chelsea players."
Hutchison then explained further as to how Tuchel has managed to get into the minds of the players after less than two months at the club.
He added: "I think [he's done it] by hard work, I think he's worked on the defence, quite clear that he went for clean sheets before he tried to get his operators at the top end of the pitch playing.
"You see Christian Pulisic has hardly played, Kai Havertz has hardly played, Timo Werner's slightly coming back to form.
"But I think you can see what he's building and what he's trying to do.
"He's trying to make them tight at the back and that's what you've got to do as a manager.
"You've seen his results, they're not spectacular, but you guarantee now as a Chelsea fan when you watch them they're going to be tight and hard to beat."
