Chelsea’s superb start to the 2020-21 Premier League campaign makes the Blues the favourites to lift the top-flight title come May 2021, according to Liverpool FC boss Jurgen Klopp.
Frank Lampard’s men have got off to a brilliant start across all competitions on the back of their record spending in this summer’s transfer window, with new signings Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell all playing a major role in helping the Stamford Bridge outfit sit on top of the league standings.
Despite Klopp’s Liverpool FC also having enjoyed a decent start to their title-defence campaign, the German tipped Chelsea to be the favourites on achieving title-winning glory judging by their series of results of late.
“If I watch football games at the moment then Chelsea, for me, look like favourites,” said the Reds gaffer, as quoted by the Daily Express.
“They have the biggest squad, great players playing well together after a rusty start – and they are full on.
“They have unbelievable opportunities to change in games and make changes from one game to the other – so that is it.”
This is not the first time Klopp has publicly admitted his admiration for Lampard’s side, with the Liverpool FC manager having earlier tipped the Blues along with fellow London-based outfit Tottenham Hotspurs to be amongst the primary challengers for the coveted Premier League crown.
