(Reuters) - Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has adapted well to the physical demands of regularly starting for the Premier League champions and his recent form is no surprise, manager Antonio Conte said ahead of Saturday's game against league leaders Manchester City.

Former Real Madrid and Juventus forward Morata has made a strong start in English football, scoring six goals in as many games to tie with Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku and City's Sergio Aguero as the league's top scorers.
