Cesc Fabregas became the first player with 10 or more assists in six different Premier League seasons during Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
Chelsea will be crowned champions if they win against the Baggies, with Conte expecting "fantastic" celebrations if and when they wrap up the league.
The victory was largely thanks to the virtuoso display from Fabregas, who admitted it was one of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt, and the Spanish midfielder had a telling contribution in the goals scored by Diego Costa and Matic that sandwiched a Marcos Alonso goal. Nemanja Matic then produced a second-half strike to rule out any remote chance of a shock comeback to preserve Boro's Premier League status for at least another weekend.
The league leaders only need two points from their final three matches to secure the title, and a win over West Bromwich Albion on Friday could seal the deal.
"In this moment for me or for my players, the most important thing is to be focused on the moment".
Walker feels Chelsea had to put in very little effort on Monday night against a disappointing Boro side and believes the away side made it too easy for Antonio Conte's men. "We didn't play in the Champions League so we had a lot of weeks where we could prepare physically in a fantastic way, where you cannot in a normal season due to all the travelling". "Now we are very close but we need to take another step".

The obelisk was a tribute to whites who battled a biracial Reconstruction government installed in New Orleans after the Civil War. The New Orleans monument that was taken down has been the subject of frequent vandalism in past years.
"There is only one way, to take three points and to win the title".
Luiz has been ever-present in Chelsea's defence this season and has flourished since Conte opted to switch to a 3-4-3 formation earlier in the campaign.
First of all, will Conte want to continue at Chelsea?
"The money is important only at this level to give the real value of a player or the coach". Then I saw my team improving game by game and increasing confidence, increasing confidence in the work.
I will play for the team and play for the club. I've left a very silent dressing room with everyone, staff and players, absolutely gutted.
"It was probably more comfortable last time but the run-in is always the same, there is always a stage in the season when it's going to be tight, when teams are putting pressure on and you're having to win", he said.
