Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes Chelsea might win the Premier League next season. The German manager stated that the Blues are strong and will compete for the title next season. Speaking to ESPN (via Football London ), the German boss revealed how highly he thought of Thomas Tuchel’s men, saying:
“When we played Chelsea, we didn't win one game. And that's not because we were bad that day. No, we were really good in those games. In the end, with the penalty shootout, we could win it, but in 90 minutes, we didn't. So that shows you Chelsea are incredibly strong."
The two sides faced each other four times last season. Both their Premier League outings ended in draws. Liverpool won the Carabao Cup final and the FA Cup final, both against the Blues, on penalties with the match ending goalless in regulation time.
The Blues, who are under new ownership following the acquisition of the club by a consortium led by Todd Boehly, will hope to match Klopp's expectations. They have had a fairly decent last few campaigns, but have generally fallen behind Manchester City and Liverpool in the league.
They finished third last season, 18 points behind the Reds and 19 points behind champions Manchester City. They will hope to recruit smartly this summer window and raise a team that could see them break the duopoly at the top of the table. Klopp will also hope his side can continue to hold them off as the new season nears its beginning.
