Premier League: The conundrum of duplicating the 3-4-3 formation.

In the Premier League, club managers are gradually cloning the 3-4-3 formation as though it's the blueprint for success.

Looks like Antonio Conte has started a revolution of formation in the Premier League.

Since Antonio Conte implemented the formation in the second half of the London derby against Arsenal and has gone on to record outstanding victories in subsequent matches, some managers have started doing the "copycat".

Pochettino took a leaf out of Conte's book to a great effect in the London derby against Arsenal while Ronald Koeman mirrored the formation to the decimation of Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Notably, over the weekend, managers of Tottenham and Everton FC switched from their usual formation to playing three defenders at the back.

In the case of Tottenham,  they left the Emirates stadium feeling satisfied after a 1-1 draw with arch rivals Arsenal while Everton got trounced at Stamford Bridge in a match which could be seen as Chelsea laying down a marker for the Premier League title.

Previously, Slaven Billic stopped the rut at West ham United by switching to three defenders at the back although, results have been mixed since then.

With managers already going the way of Conte's Chelsea, there are questions which are begging for answers. Will managers implementing the three defenders at their clubs, record the same success Antonio Conte has achieved so far at a Chelsea? Do they have the right players and in-game tactics to execute the formation?

Let's know what you think.
