It is just less than 2 months away before the most powerful league in the world of round leather game - football season to be over. The Barclays Premier league.
Despite the league is 12 games shy from being over, Antonio Conte and N’Golo Kante have been named Manager and Player of the Year respectively at the 2017 London Football Awards.
The pair are each enjoying incredible debut seasons with Chelsea, Kante having arrived as a Premier League champion from Leicester City and Conte after joining us from his position with the Italian national team.
The Italian has taken us 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League, as well as guiding the Blues to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Conte is also in contention for the Month of February's Manager of the Month.
A huge part of that success has been the performances of Frenchman Kante in central midfield. His non-stop running and ability to efficiently recycle possession have seen him become a key figure in Conte’s preferred 11 and a sure-fire contender for individual end of season awards.
There was also recognition for former Blues Frank Lampard received the Outstanding Contribution to London Football award, having clocked up 211 goals for the Blues as well as winning every available major club honour.
Ex blue midfielder and all time highest goal scorer Lampard, 38, began his career across the capital with West Ham United before joining Chelsea in 2001.
I say a big congrats to them!
