Chelsea have been dealt an unfair hand by schedule makers in comparison to Premier League leaders Manchester City, according to boss Antonio Conte. "For sure it was a pity to play against Manchester City after only two days (rest) when we played against Atletico Madrid away," he said. "We came back at five o'clock in the morning on Thursday and we played on Saturday against Manchester City. "If someone wants more balance in this league I think they must pay greater attention before to prepare the fixtures."
