Chelsea recovered from an early strike by Patrick Bamford to beat Leeds 3-1 on Saturday night.
They have increased their defensive resilience this season, with summer signing Thiago Silva clearly having a big impact.
inside eraFormer Blues striker Tony Cascarino says he feels Silva has had a big impact on team-mate Reece James.
James enjoyed a breakout season in 2019/20 but has established himself this season – something Cascarino believes is partly because Silva has helped him improve his defensive judgment.

“I’m very impressed with Reece James’ progress,” Cascarino wrote.
“His attacking attributes were evident last year, but the right-back’s judgment is questionable when it comes to choosing whether to stay or go forward.
“He has improved by leaps and bounds on the defensive end and I’m sure the arrival of Thiago Silva will help.
“Chelsea have been calling for a playmaker from the back and (he) looks more and more like a bargain this season.”

Chelsea’s defence has been more solid this season, and James has largely settled on right-back.
Cascarino has noticed his balance between defence and attack, which could explain why he is ahead of Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the ranking of England right-backs.
He is a real contender for the rescheduled Euro 2020, although the right-back is a spoiled area of the pitch for Gareth Southgate.
For now, he has established himself at Chelsea, who are looking for every inch they are considered title contenders after an impressive summer in the transfer market.
