2. Chelsea
55.7% success rate
411 of 738 aerial duels won
Chelsea have 14 players in their first team squad over 6’0″ tall, and the Blues are therefore naturally equipped to deal with aerial barrages.
Jose Mourinho’s side are more likely to be involved in duels in the air than title rivals Manchester City or Arsenal – perhaps due to a more direct playing style – but win many more than they lose.
Chelsea are great at both defending and attacking set pieces too, with the likes of Branislav Ivanovic and John Terry immensely dangerous in both boxes.
