"Yes we have only 4 wins in 8 games but we should consider that we really needed some time to implement 6 new players in the starting lineup, our rivals didn't need to do anything close to that.

"Now if we compare some of our attacking and defensive stats against the defending champions* Liverpool we see that we are very much close to them. We are actually better in tackles made and goal-created chances but they have one game less, even so it's interesting to see because one of our games was already against them which we lost with a player less and that game particularly puts down our stats a whole lot but even so we are looking pretty good:
"As for the goal-created chances:
"The season is long and hard matches are still ahead of us, but there are so many promising signs that we might just be ready for any challenge that comes our way. If we manage to keep Mendy, Chilwell and T.Silva injury-free we could be looking as a contender for the title."
What do you make of Chelsea's title chances this season?
